lyrics

I'm in love with a union man
And he works so hard
Every single day and night
But he's got no time for lovin'
Always one step outta sight
Yeah, but he's alright
At least most of the time

My baby loves me
But he ain't around to please me
He's all used up and I'm burnt out
And in the morning
When he wakes up bright and early
He doesn't seem to notice any
Single goddamn thing

I'm in love with a union man
He keeps punchin' that endless clock
Comin' home weary and blue
Yeah, he's savin' every nickel and dime
Says it's what he's born to do
Yeah, but he's alright
At least most of the time

I tend to fall for
Those blue-collar boys, I do
They pay the bills, they lay the carpet
Never making time for you
But when he's home I know
He's so fine, he knows my soul
But when the factory calls
And the man strikes down
You gotta pay that worker's toll

I'm in love with a union man
And he works so hard
Every single day and night
But he's got no time for lovin'
Always one step outta sight
Yeah, but he's alright
At least most of the time

I'm in love with a union man
And he works so hard
Every single day and night
But he's got no time for lovin'
Always one step outta sight
Yeah, but he's alright
At least most of the time

Yeah, he's alright
Most of the time
Yeah, he's alright
Most of the time
Yeah, he's alright
Most of the time
