Workin Class Hero lyrics

A callused right hand holds a shiny gold watch for thirty years spent on the clock
But you won`t see no tears from this workin` class hero
He`s always been hard as a rock
He knows he`s too old to really start over besides he just wouldn`t know how
I guess he`s just glad that he`s not alone he`s got to wonder what now
Cause there`s no hall of fame for that working class hero
No statute carved out of stone
His greatest reward is the love of a woman and his children so after he`s gone
That old working class hero lives on
[ guitar - fiddle ]
That three-bedroom house he built in the 50`s seems so much bigger today
With just him and mama and not many bills cause all of the kids moved away
What he`s done with his life might not be remembered
But he`s got every right to be proud
Cause the blood sweatin` years of this workin` class hero is really what livin`s about
Cause there`s no hall of fame...
[ guitar ]
Yes that workin` class hero lives on that workin` class hero lives on
