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
But I guess he's just glad that he's not alone
But he's got to wonder what now

There's no hall of fame for that working class hero
No statute 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

-- Instrumental --

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

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

-- Instrumental --

That workin' class hero lives on
That workin' class hero lives on
