Lyrics
Blue Collar Town
©David Goldman/WORLDWAVE MUSIC (ASCAP)
Old man walkin’, he ain’t talkin’, moving slowly dead ahead
He used to work here, they were good years, he kept his family fed
Times are changing, re-arranging, everybody’s lives
The earth is shifting, his dreams are drifting, but he won’t step aside
In this blue collar town, though he’s history bound,
Sorrow has no sound,
In this true, blue, blue collar town,
Everyone knew all about you, they’d say hi when you walked down the street
Now there’s new folks, telling new jokes, they don’t care how things used to be
But he was born here, and he’ll hold on here, standing tall in a house divided
Behind the dark glance, the memories dance in the eyes of this old timer
In this blue collar town, though he’s history bound,
Sorrow has no sound,
In this true, blue, blue collar town,
The old trains used to fly down the tracks
Before the highway came and broke the town’s back
Once he had his whole life ahead
He never thought for a minute he’d be stranded like this
In this blue collar town, though he’s history bound,
Sorrow has no sound,
In this true, blue, blue collar town
