working hard to make a living
bringing shelter from the rain
a fathers son left to carry on
blue denim in his vein
oh oh oh he`s a working class man
well he`s a steel town deciple
he`s a legend of his kind
he`s running like a cyclone
across the wild mid western sky
oh oh oh he`s a working class man
he believes in god and elvis
he gets out when he can
he did his time in vietnam
still mad at uncle sam
he`s a simple man
with a heart of gold
in a complicated land
oh he`s a working class man
well he loves a little woman
someday he`ll make his wife
saving all the overtime
for the one love of his life
he ain`t worried about tomorrow
cause he just made up his mind
life`s too short for burning bridges
take it one day at a time
oh oh oh he`s a working class man
oh oh oh he`s a working class man
oh yeah
yes he is
well he`s a working class man
oh
ma ma . . . . . . . i tell you he`s a working class man
