A reflective tune about working (a day gig) so as a musician you can also work at night!

lyrics

Alarm bell rings, it's 6a.m. - Monday morning comes, around again
Off to work , the daily grind - leaving last week-end behind
Days turn to weeks & then to months - I got this life to live just once...
Blue collar blues, yeah that's my life - mortgage, car & cat - 2 kids & wife
The high, high cost of living low -working hard not much to show
Try to save a little more, keep those wolves far from my door...
Blue collar working, yes indeed - Monday to Friday in this f-factory
Counting the years down, retire soon, be good for just one thing...
I'll dust my broom!...
That cat got 9 lives , me just one - and growing old, it ain't much fun
Creakin' bones & short of breath - but don't put me in no pine-box yet!
From the cradle to the grave, blue collar blues that's what I say....
