lyrics

I’m proud to say that I’m blue collar man
Like my daddy and his pappy before him
Working morning til late every day
5,6,7 days a week

Now it ain’t that I got nothin against
Wearing a shirt and a tie
A white collar job just aint for me
And I'm gonna tell you why

But there’s a certain sense of pride
That you just feel inside
When your hands are all covered in grease.
I got that working man’s blues
Its all i can do
A white collar job just ain't for me

Well I
Got 7 mouths to feed
More money is what we all need
Bossman I’ll take that extra shift
But it never seems to be enough

Overtime’s the working man’s drug
All we do is make the taxman rich.
Dont need no politicians lies
Says he stands up for me
All awhile i know he’s full of sh*t

But there’s a certain sense of pride (Chorus 2x)
That you just feel inside
When your hands are all covered in grease.

I got that working man’s blues
Its all i can do
A white collar job just ain't for me.

Stan Matthews Worcester, Massachusetts

I’m a solo artist . My music is stark, stripped bare, the lyrics are honest. I sing about life from the perspective of the working man. My songs take you on life’s journey; search for love, joy of a child’s birth,the struggle of relationships, the anguish at the loss of a job, the sorrow at a loved one’s passing. I perform locally and my music can be heard on radio worldwide. ... more
