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
