Discover the story of the song > Forgotten Man – Elvie Shane

The protagonist works hard every day and has a typical American life with a small house and a job. His father worked just as hard and sent him to school to have a better life. But no matter how much he learns or what he achieves, he knows he will always have a blue-collar job like his father, and will never be able to escape it. The song pays tribute to the hard work and sacrifice of the "forgotten man" and their struggles to make a living.
