Workin' Class Hero Lyrics - Alan Jackson

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 

I guess he's just glad 

That he's not alone 

But he's got to wonder what now

'Cause 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 working class hero lives on 

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 

Photos 

'Cause 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 

Yes, that workin' class hero lives on 

That workin' class hero lives on
