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 class man

Well, he's a steel town disciple

He's a legend of his kind

He's running like a cyclone

Across the wild midwestern sky

Oh, he's a working class man

(Whoa) He believes in God and Elvis

(Whoa) He gets out when he can

(Whoa) He did his time in Vietnam

Still mad at Uncle Sam

(Whoa) 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, he's a working class man

Oh, he's a working class man

Oh yeah

Yes he is

Well, he's a working class man, oh

Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma

I tell you he's a working class man

(Working class, working class man) Yes he is

(Working class, working class man)

I wanna tell you he's a working class man

(Working class, working class man) Ma ma ma

(Working class, working class man)

I tell you he's a working class man

(Working class, working class man) Oh yeah
