Of this workin' class hero
But he's got every right to be proud
He knows he's too old
But he's got to wonder what now
'Cause all of the kids moved away
He built in the '50s
And not many bills
No statue carved out of stone
Seems much bigger today
With just him and mama
Besides he just wouldn't know how
Yes, that workin' class hero lives on
No statue carved out of stone
But you won't see no tears
'Cause there's no hall of fame
But I guess he's just glad
And his children so after he's gone
'Cause the blood sweatin' years
This workin' class hero
That old working class hero lives on
His greatest reward is the love of a woman
That old workin' class hero lives on
Thirty years spent on clock
'Cause there's no hall of fame
Is really what livin's about
That he's not alone
Might not be remembered
And his children, so after he's gone
What he's done with his life
For that working class hero
His greatest reward is the love of a woman
That three-bedroom house
To really start over
He's always been hard as a rock
For that working class hero
