Working hard to make a living
Bringing shelter from the rain
A father's son left to carry on
Blue denim in his veins
Oh he's a working cla** man
He's a steel town disciple
He's a legend of his time
He's flew in like a cyclone
Organized the picket line
Oh he's a working cla** 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 cla** man
Well he loves a little woman
Someday he'll make his wife
One day they'll share their lives
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 he's a working cla** man
He works hard to make a living
Bringing shelter from the rain
His father's son left to carry on
Blue denim in his veins
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 he's a working cla** man
