Johnny and Melinda they work real hard, she's down at the mill and he's back at the, freightyard. Umm, mmm, mmm. It's a long day's labor for a short day's pay but five o'clock comes and they have it their, own way. Umm, mmm, mmm.
Red hot love, in a bluecollar town. The heat goes up, when the sun goes down. Hearts on fire, troubles drown. Red hot love, in a blue collar town.
They both used to work a lot of overtime but now the whistle blows for the lovin' on, their minds. Hmm, mmm, mmm. Long lunch hours in the afternoon, sleepless nights when the morning comes, too soon. Hmm, mmm, mmm.
Red hot love, in a blue collar town. The heat goes up, when the sun goes down. Hearts on fire, troubles drown. Red hot love, in a blue collar town.
Johnny takes Melinda to the drive-in show, don't ask about the picture cause they don't know. Thunder in the valley in the midnight skies. Lightening in Melinda's eyes.
Red hot love, in a blue collar town. The heat goes up, when the sun goes down. Hearts on fire, troubles drown. Red hot love, in a blue collar town.
*Red hot love in a blue collar town*. Hmmmm. Pull down the shades and lock up the doors. *Red hot love in a blue collar town*. Meet me out back at a quarter to four. *Red hot love in a blue collar town*. That last little room above the general store. *Red hot love in a blue collar town*.
