"Working Class Hero (Radio Edit)" lyrics

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 drag line 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 class hero
He's a man he's America

Well you can see him on the scaffolds
Hanging twenty stories high
He's the builder of the building
That's growing in the sky

And his spirit's 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 class hero
He's a man he's America

Well you can see him in the stock yards
In Chicago and St. Lou
And on the docks in San Francisco
And down in Houston to

He is 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 body 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
