Lyrics
Common Man
c. glen king
1st. v.
I drink my beer from the bottle
Roll my own cigarettes
I believe in family
Sweatin' hard for what I get
I go to church on Sunday
Cause, there's something in the word
That says it ain't no sin
To be the salt of the earth:
Chorus.
I'm a Common Man
With calloused hands
Got steel in my veins
Don't mind gettin' dirty Lord
Or, workin' thru my pain
Well, people let me tell you
And, I hope you understand
There ain't no shame in being
A Common Man.
2nd.v.
I pay my share of taxes
Take pride in what I've got
Thank God for all my blessings
And, the chicken in my pot
There ain't nobody prouder
Of the good old USA
And, I choke up every time
I hear the anthem play:
Ch.
I'm a Common Man
With calloused hands
Got steel in my veins
Don't mind gettin' dirty Lord
Or, workin' thru my pain
Well, people let me tell you
And, I hope you understand
There ain't no shame in being
A Common Man.
br.
Is it any wonder
Why Lincoln's on the penny
He said,
God must've loved the common man
Because he made so many:
Ch. repeat.
