Common Man Lyrics by The Blasters

Hard Line

0

[Verse 1]
He wasn’t born in a cabin
He never fought in a war
But he learned to smile and quote Abe Lincoln
And get his foot in the door

[Verse 2]
He knows all your problems
He shares all of your dreams
When he laughs, his wife laughs too
As they ride in their limousine

[Chorus]
So wave the flag and take a stand
Stand in line to shake his hand
He says he’s your friend
A friend of the common man

[Verse 3]
He’s got all the answers
The good days will be back soon
There’s one more strike in a copper mine
And a hungry child in each classroom

[Chorus]
So wave the flag and take a stand
Stand in line to shake his hand
He says he’s your friend
A friend of the common man

[Bridge]
Everybody works day to day to get by
Every morning searching for a reason to try
Ain’t he the friend of the common man?

[Verse 1]
He wasn’t born in a cabin
He never fought in a war
But he learned to smile and quote Abe Lincoln
And get his foot in the door

[Verse 4]
With one hand on the Bible
He swears he’s only here to serve
While everyone says for better or worse
We get what we deserve

[Chorus]
So wave the flag and take a stand
Stand in line to shake his hand
He says he’s your friend
A friend of the common man

[Chorus]
Wave the flag and take a stand
Stand in line to shake his hand
He says he’s your friend
A friend of the common man
