Working Class Dream Lyrics

Johnny works the line in old Steel Town

Got a girl from the wrong side of the tracks

Punch the clock, another day's begun

Dreamin' of the life they're gonna have

Overtime, double shifts

Saving up for that one big break

When the whistle blows, he's on his way

Chasing dreams that won't fade away

Hey, hey, young love burns bright

Whoa, whoa, in the darkest night

Hearts on fire, dreams in sight

Living this working-class life tonight

Janie's working in a greasy spoon

Jukebox playing a familiar tune

Serving coffee with hope in her smile

Counting tips and dreaming all the while

Late night calls, stolen kisses

Building love on hopes and wishes

When her shift ends, she runs to his arms

Their love a refuge from life's harms

Hey, hey, young love burns bright

Whoa, whoa, in the darkest night

Hearts on fire, dreams in sight

Living this working-class life tonight

Johnny's saving every dime he earns

Janie's dreaming big, her heart burns

They talk about a future far away

Leaving Steel Town, come what may

They say they're too young, say it won't last

But they're holding on tight, growing up too fast

In a world that's tough, they've found something real

A love as strong as Steel Town steel

Hey, hey, young love burns bright

Whoa, whoa, in the darkest night

Hearts on fire, dreams in sight

Living this working-class life tonight

Hey, hey, hold on tight

Whoa, whoa, we'll win this fight

Together we'll rise, through day and night

Living this working-class dream, in daylight

Johnny and Janie, against the odds they stand

In this working-class dream, hand in hand

With love as their guide, they'll find their way

Together they'll shine, come what may

Hey, hey, hold on tight

Whoa, whoa, we'll win this fight

Together we'll rise, through day and night

Living this working-class dream, in broad daylight
