WORKING CLASS HERO
Alan Jackson
(Alan Jackson/Don Sampson)
Album: Don't Rock The Jukebox
A Ecallused right hand
Holds a Ashiny gold Ewatch
For Bthirty years sp Aent on the Eclock
But you won't see no tears
From this Aworkin' class Ehero
He's Balways been Ahard as a Brock
But he Eknows he's too old
To Areally start Eover
Bes Bides he just Awouldn't know Ehow
I guess he's just glad
That Ahe's not al Eone
But Bhe's got to Awonder what Enow
'Cause there's Ano hall of Dfame for that Eworking class hero
No Astatute Dcarved out of st Eone
And his Agreatest re Dward is the Elove of a woman
And his Dchildren
So after he's Egone
That old Dworking class Ehero lives Aon
That Ethree-bedroom house
He Abuilt in the E'50s
BSeems so much Abigger to Eday
With just him and mama
And Anot many Ebills
'Cause Ball of the Akids moved a Eway
What he's Edone with his life
Might Anot be re Emembered
But he's Bgot every Aright to be Eproud
'Cause the blood sweatin' years
Of this Aworkin' class Ehero
Is Breally what Alivin's a Ebout
[Chorus]
That Dworking class Ehero lives Aon
That Dworking class Ehero lives Aon

'Cause there's no hall of fame for that working class hero

A D E

No statute carved out of st one

And his greatest re ward is the love of a woman

And his children

So after he's gone

That old working class hero lives on

That three-bedroom house

He built in the '50s

Seems so much bigger to day

With just him and mama

And not many bills

B A E

'Cause all of the kids moved a way

What he's done with his life

Might not be re membered

B A E

But he's got every right to be proud

'Cause the blood sweatin' years

A E

Of this workin' class hero

B A E

Is really what livin's a bout

[Chorus]

That working class hero lives on

D E A

That working class hero lives on
