Working Man Dream by Steve Flemming

"Working Man Dream" is a reflective folk-inspired song about the quiet hopes that sustain ordinary working people through the demands of everyday life. Set against the contrast of busy city construction and the peaceful beauty of nature, it tells the story of a hardworking man who dreams of one day leaving behind the noise, pressure, and routine to embrace a simpler life filled with birdsong, autumn skies, and inner peace. Honest, humble, and heartfelt, the song celebrates perseverance while reminding us that even the hardest workers carry dreams of freedom, contentment, and a place they can truly call home.

Song Written and Produced by Steve Flemming Working Man Dream 11/9/24 6/28/26 [INSTRUMENTAL] Take me to the places Where the buildings aren't so high Where the birds up in the sky Are free to sing and fly Take me far away To a peaceful, quiet place Where the trees all fill the space And I see smiles on every face But here I do construction In the city where I live In the city that I give It's all I ever did [INSTRUMENTAL] Still I know they'll come a day When I'll leave this busy place Leave without a trace With a smile on my face I'll enjoy the autumn sky With the birds all flying high Singing songs and lullabies That I loved when I was five But here I do construction In the city where I live In the city that I give It's all I ever did [INSTRUMENTAL] [BRIDGE] The boss man said to me One day I'll be set free Living by the sea With perfect inner peace Perhaps that's just a dream But it's one that follows me While I'm working on the streets In this busy city scene But here I do construction In the city where I live In the city that I give It's all I ever did And here I do construction In the city where I live In the city that I give It's all I ever did [INSTRUMENTAL] Closing words by Steve: If these songs have meant something to you, would you consider helping me keep this musical journey going with a small donation?
