Ballad of the working man

Lyrics

Verse 1

Sat at desks with a paper crown

Traded youth for a suit and a frown

I Only chased what I thought I should

Longed for the day I could break free for good

Pre-Chorus

Found a place I could finally breathe

Became the man I always wanted to be

Chorus

I wonder what they’ll say when I’m gone

Did I make my mark, was I weak or strong

Had dreams of fame on a neon stage

But traded them all for a working wage

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, I've come so far

Oh, oh, here we are

Verse 2

Working late, when the pressure's on

All for the money 'cause I'm overdrawn

Got lots of bills and new things to buy

Sometimes feels like the well's ran dry [Pre-Chorus]

Made a life that was good for me

Finally got myself free

Corus

I wonder what they’ll say when I’m gone

Did he even care, if he was right or wrong

Had dreams of fame on the silver screen

But traded them all for the working scene

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, I've come so far

Oh, oh, here we are [Bridge]

But the story isn’t written in gold

Just in the memories that I hold

It’s the laughter mixed with all the doubt

It's the quiet wins I can’t live without

Chorus

I wonder what they’ll say when I’m gone

Did I make my mark, was I weak or strong Dreamed of fame on a football field

But traded it in and kept my dreams concealed [Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh, I hope that folks will say

Oh, oh, he found his own way

outro

Oh, oh, folks say in this town

Oh, oh. can't keep a good man down

Oh, oh, I've come so far

Oh, oh, here we are
