Ballad of the Working Man

[Verse 1]
Hear the whistle blowing, another working day
Turn the wheels of power, earn your daily pay
The blood and sweat of working men made this country great
To the Kings and Queens of industry, your lives we celebrate
No matter where you're going, remember where you've been

[Chorus]
It takes me back to a simple life
I sing my song: The Ballad of the Working Man

[Verse 2]
The rhythm of the engines, pounding out a song
Pulling all together to make this kingdom strong
To every man and woman, standing tall and proud
We dedicate this song to you, rejoice and shout out loud
It's not so complicated, remember where you're from

[Chorus]
It takes me back to a simple life
I sing my song: The Ballad of the Working Man
Working man

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Another round of whiskey, another shot of gin
Barmaid rings last orders, get the last ones in
The place is full of laughter, the glasses full of beer
It takes me to a simple life that's nearly disappeared
No matter where you're going, remember where you've been

[Chorus]
Take me back to a simple life
I sing my song: The Ballad of the Working Man
The Ballad of the Working Man
The Ballad of the Working Man
