Lyrics
Working Class Man
Words and Music written By: Larry Vannatta (Socan)
Verse one
Back in the day when a man was a man
He worked all day with his own two hands
With the sweat on his brow and dust on his face
Working class honest man
Verse two
Didn't have much what he had he earn
A loving family and a trusting word
Drove a John deer tractor, and a old half ton
Working class honest man
(Chorus)
He's a poor dirt farmer, he's a factory man
A train engineer who rides across this land
With the sweat on their brow and dust on their face
Just a working class honest man
Verse three
There's a lot of folks working on a wage
Trying to make a dollar each and every day
Men and women just blue collar folks
Working class honest man
(Bridge)
That working class, they fought together
And they built this nation strong
Lest we forget the ones who died
For the freedom of us all.
Verse four
So want you tip your hat to the working kind
Threat them like a brother all the time
With the sweat on their brow and dust on their face
Just the working class honest man
(Chorus) Tag
