Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)

Stefan Podell, Tommy Shaw

[Intro]
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no

[Verse 1]
Gimme a job, gimme security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God, I'm hardly alive
My mother, my father, my wife and my friends
I see them laugh in my face
But I got the power, and I got the will
I'm not a charity case

[Hook]
I'll take the long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
And if it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man, yeah
I'm gonna, gonna, gonna

[Verse 2]
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 the

[Chorus]
Long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
And if it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man

[Bridge 1]
Keeping 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

[Chorus]
And I'll take the long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
And if it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar man

[Bridge 2]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
('Cause I am what I am)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Blue collar man)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Ooh)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
(Just like my daddy was)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

[Chorus]
Oh, and I'm gonna take the long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
And if it takes all that to be just what I am
I'm gonna be a blue collar
Gotta be a blue collar
Gonna be a blue collar man

[Outro]
I'm gonna be a blue collar man
I'm gonna be a blue collar man
(You sing it)
Gonna be a blue collar man
(Yeah, yeah, yes, I'm)
Gonna be a blue collar man
('Cause I am what I am)
Gonna be a blue collar man
(Blue collar man)
Gonna be a blue collar man
(Gonna be, I'm gonna be, gonna be, gonna be)
Gonna be a blue collar man
(Blue collar man)
Gonna be a blue collar man
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Yeah! Yeah, yeah!
Blue collar man!
