Blue Collar Man (Long Nights).kar

I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line.
My God, I'm hardly alive.

My mother and father, my wife and my friends,
you've seen them laugh in my face.

But I've got the power and I've got the will,
I'm not a charity case.

I'll take those
long nights, impossible odds,
keepin' my eye on the keyhole.

If it takes
all that to just what I am.
Well, I'm gonna be a bluecollar man.

Make me an offer that I can't refuse,
make me respectable, man.

This is my last time in the unemployment line.
So, like it or not,

I'll take those
long nights, impossible odds,
keepin' my back to the wall.

If it takes
all night to just what I am.
Well, I'm gonna be a bluecollar man.

Keepin' my mind on a better life
where happiness is only a heartbeat away.

Paradise, can it be all I heard it was.
I close my eyes, and maybe I'm already there.

I'll take those
long nights, impossible odds,
keepin' my back to the wall.

All that to just what I am.
Well, I'm gonna be a bluecollar man.
You don't understand.

I'll take those
long nights, impossible odds,
keepin' my eye on the keyhole.

If it takes
all night to just who I am.

Well, I vow to be a bluecollar,
gotta be a bluecollar,
gonna be a bluecollar man.
