                He lived in the hills, in the rain and cold
                And was bound to die before he got old
                Didn't have a job, wife or family
                But he had a strong heart of integrity

                       He was a common man, tryin' to make a stand
                       From a small town, but you know, he'd been around
                       A common man with a simple plan
                       To lend us all a hand and help us stand up
                       For the common man

                He chose to hang around with folks of low renown
                There were plenty of clowns tryin' to shake him down
                But he could see right through their hypocrisy
                'Cause he knew the real truth that'll make us free

                       He was a common man, tryin' to make a stand
                       From a small town, but you know, he'd been around
                       A common man with a simple plan
                       To lend us all a hand and help us stand up
                       For the common man

                Yeah, they were looking for a big time hero
                Looking for a different kind of king
                But you know, for all you who've got the blues. . .
                It's good news he brings

                       He was a common man, tryin' to make a stand
                       From a small town, but you know, he'd been around
                       A common man with a simple plan
                       To lend us all a hand and help us stand up
                       For the common man

                       And he can lift us up, from the sinkin' sand
                       Yeah, lend us all a hand and help us stand up
                       Oh, yes he can, for the common man
