Common Man

Lyrics

[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
