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


But 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
But 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
And 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 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 for that working class hero
No statute carved out of stone
And his greatest reward is the love of a woman
And his children

So after he s gone
That old workin class hero lives on



Yesthat workin class hero lives on

That workin class hero lives on
