Blue Collar Man (Long Nights) (Album Version)

[00:19.85] Give me a job, give me security
[00:24.05] Give me a chance to survive
[00:26.90] I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
[00:31.76] My God, I'm hardly alive
[00:35.11] My mother and father, my wife and my friends
[00:39.60] You see them laugh in my face
[00:42.96] But I've got the power, and I've got the will
[00:47.28] I'm not a charity case
[00:49.77] I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
[00:54.62] Keeping my eye in the keyhole
[00:57.82] If it takes all that to be just what I am
[01:01.97] Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man
[01:06.03]
[01:11.86] Make me an offer that I can't refuse
[01:16.04] Make me respectable, man
[01:19.06] This is my last time in the unemployment line
[01:24.31] So like it or not, I'll take those
[01:27.56] Long nights, impossible odds
[01:31.48] Keeping my back to the wall
[01:34.56] If it takes all night to be just what I am
[01:38.55] Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man
[01:42.63] Keeping my mind on a better life
[01:48.24] When happiness is only a heartbeat away
[01:56.10] Paradise, can it be all I heard it was?
[02:03.68] I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there
[02:10.23]
[02:40.95] I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
[02:46.19] Keeping my back to the wall
[02:49.93] All that to be just what I am
[02:53.48] Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man
[02:59.61] Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
[03:03.36] (You don't understand)
[03:04.75] Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
[03:08.66] Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
[03:11.52] Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
[03:13.95] I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
[03:19.03] Keeping my eye to the keyhole
[03:21.72] If it takes all that to be just who I am
[03:26.24] Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar
[03:28.30] Gotta be a blue collar-
[03:30.10] Gonna be a blue collar man
[03:37.35]
[03:43.41] Alright!
[03:54.62] Believe it
[03:56.43]
