Song Lyrics
Lyrics to Blue Collar Man :
Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I`m just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God, I`m hardly alive
My mother and father, my wife and my friends
I see them laugh in my face
But I`ve got the power, and I`ve got the will
I`m not a charity case
I`ll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well, I`m gonna be a blue collar man
Make me an offer that I can`t refuse
Make me respectable, man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not I`ll take those
Long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well, I`m gonna be a blue collar man
Keeping my mind on a better life
Where happiness is only a heartbeat away
Paradise, can it be all I heard it was
I close my eyes and maybe I`m already there
I`ll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
All that be just what I am
Well, I`m gonna be a blue collar man
You don`t understand
I`ll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that be just who I am
Well I vow to be a blue collar, gotta be a blue collar,
Gonna be a Blue collar man.
Believe it.
