Blackfoot- Diary of a Working Man

Diary of a Working Man - Lyrics:

In a room all alone, waiting by the telephone
With a tear in his eye and a pen in his hand
So begins the diary, of a working man

He'd been poor man all his life
And just when things were going right
Some stranger takes his woman away
He doesn't know if he'll see, oh another day
Oh another day


Time has come and it was right
It was a cold and rainy, night
And he thought for sure she would follow
But it won't be the same no, tomorrow

Now here's a man glory bound
In a pool of dreams about to drown
If he can just get through this night
Then maybe tomorrow things, will work out right
Oh, will work out right


Well, with the pain in his blood
He'd love to take her if he could
And as he wakes with a scream
To only realize it's just reality

He woke with sweaty hands
Maybe there'll be a change in plans
With a tear in his eye and a gun in his hand
So ends the diary, of a workingman

I saw these guys in the early 80's in Belfast. Amazing band live the power went out and they did an acoustic session.

Totally amazing, up there with Def Leppard who played Belfast as a tester for Hysteria.

Dude don't bury the needle too deep, you still have some livin' to do :-)

Saw them play at Castle Donnington in the UK when I was 17. Mental stuff with loads of people throwing wooden black feet on stage. They played this one and the place went wild. Superb/

This song seems to bring out some riveting tales. Seriously. I can't seem to think of a smiley that conveys the fact that I'm actually being sincere and not sarcastic.
