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
