Where's it gonna end
When's it gonna stop...
Or at least slow down so maybe I can get off
My world's tied to the tickin' of a time clock
If my life was a dance, it'd be the blue collar rock

Elvis was king when I was a kid
"Rock" was a thing that Chuck Berry did
Now that I'm older, and slower and tired
My life is certified--solid rock hard

Where's it gonna end
When's it gonna stop...
Or at least slow down so maybe I can get off
My world's tied to the tickin' of a time clock
If my life was a dance, it'd be the blue collar rock

I could have been a contender...never got the chance
Might have been a dancer...never learned to dance
Could have won the game...I just never got the cards
My life is certified--solid rock hard

Where's it gonna end
When's it gonna stop...
Or at least slow down so maybe I can get off
My world's tied to the tickin' of a time clock
If my life was a dance, it'd be the blue collar rock
