Working Class Hero

Working Class Hero - Tommy Roe

Written by：Roe

Well he works hard on the highway underneath the burning sun

And his hands are hard and calloused

From the work that he has done

He pulls a dragline cross the country on a flatbed trailer truck

He picks cotton down in Texas

In the fields where he grew up

He doesn't have much education but he takes that in stride

And he won't ask no one for nothing

Cause he's a man with a lotta pride

He's a working class hero

He's a man he's America

He's a working clas hero

He's a man he's America

You can see him on the scaffold hanging twenty stories high

He's the builder of the building

That's growing in the sky and his

Spirits on the highway where the sweat from his brow was shed

And in the coal mines in Virginia

Where he works until he's dead

He doesn't have much education but he takes that in stride

And he won't ask no one for nothing

Cause he's a man with a lotta pride

He's a working class hero

He's a man he's America

He's a working clas hero

He's a man he's America

Well you can see him in the stockyards in Chicago and St Lou

And on the docks in San Francisco

And down in Houston too he's the

Man most like a mountain cause his shoulders are so strong

He demands respect and gets it

He won't let you do him wrong

He doesn't have much education but he takes that in stride

And he won't ask no one for nothing

Cause he's a man with a lotta pride

He's a working class hero he's a man he's America

He's a working class hero he's a man he's America

He's a working class hero he's a man he's America

He's a working class hero he's a man he's America

He's a working class hero he's a man he's America
