Lyrics:

Working hard to make a living

Bringing shelter from the rain

A father's son left to carry on

Blue denim in his vein

Oh he's a working class man

Well he's a steel town diciple

He's a legend of his kind

He's running like a cyclone

Across the wild mid western sky

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

Cos 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 class man
