song lyrics  Working Class Hero lyrics
A callused right hand
Holds a shiny gold watch
Thirty years spent on clock
But you won t see no tears
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
But I guess he s just glad
That he s not alone
But he s got to wonder what now

Cause there s no hall of fame
For that working class hero
No statue 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

That three-bedroom house
He built in the 50s
Seems 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
For that working class hero
No statue carved out of stone
His greatest reward is the love of a woman
And his children so after he s gone
That old workin class hero lives on

Yes, that workin class hero lives on
That workin class hero lives on
