Blue Collar Man Long Nights

Blue  Collar  Man  (Long  Nights)  -  Styx

  Give  me  a  job,  give  me  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  and  father,  my  wife  and  my  friends

    You  see  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

    Keeping  my  eye  to  the  keyhole

  If  it  takes  all  that  to  be  just  what  I  am

  Well  I'm  gonna  be  a  blue  collar  man

    Make  me  an  offer  that  I  can't  refuse

  Make  me  a  respectable  man

  This  is  my  last  time  in  the  unemployment  line

    So  like  it  or  not,  I'll  take  the

  Long  nights,  impossible  odds

    Keeping  my  back  to  the  wall

  If  it  takes  all  night  to  be  just  what  I  am

  Well,  I'm  gonna  be  a  blue  collar  man

    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

    I'll  take  those  long  nights,  impossible  odds

    Keeping  my  back  to  the  wall

    All  that  to  be  just  what  I  am

  Well  I'm  gonna  be  a  blue  collar  man

    Do,  do  do  do,  do  do  do  do

  You  don't  understand

    Do  do  do  do  do  do  do  do  do  do  do

    I'll  take  those  long  nights,  impossible  odds

  Keeping  my  eye  to  the  keyhole

    If  it  takes  all  night  to  be  just  who  I  am

  Well,  I'm  bound  to  be  a  blue  collar

  Got  to  be  a  blue  collar

  Gonna  be  a  blue  collar  man

    All  right!

    Believe  it.
