With A Blue Collar, Man You Can’t Win

Just seen a gal on the silver screen
Don’t know who she was but I’m taken in
Oh jeeze it’d be nice, but I’m just a workin class man

I don’t look good in suits
My shoulders too wide I’d rather wear boots
No this top hat won’t do
Her circle I dare not to go

What’s a guy supposed to do with prestige
What’s a guy supposed to do with prestige
Seems like no one works hard unless somebody’s watchin
Man just put your hand to the plow

Then she was sittin there straight in front of me
Pearls, curls that bait me right in, man it ain’t fair
I was just sittin here having a drink

That green pattern dress, a gibson girl with finesse that suggests
She smokes, drinks and takes risks nonetheless
Her lipstick is doing its thing

What’s a guy worth if he ain’t pristine
What’s a guy worth if he ain’t pristine
Seems like every gal’s searchin for the man they can’t find
Cus’ the brave men are under their feet

Still here having a seat, my hearts pacing bloods racing you see
It’s hard to muster up the guts and the grit
And five beers ain’t really that cheap

And I have to admit, she most likely won’t give a shit
But it’d be nice to pretend for a bit
That I’m not a working class man

With a blue-collar, man you can’t win
