Just a new lyric I'm working on. Could use some insight, suggestions etc. Thanks in advance.

Blue-Collar Blues

A year ago they closed the factory down
And when they did they tore the heart from this town
With the union in their pocket, the deck was stacked
And we watched our jobs move on down the tracks

I worked the night shift for thirty-odd years
Now most nights you’ll find me at the Shot ‘n Beer
My life went south when I lost what once was my home
Cos last month the damn Union Bank foreclosed

Chorus:
I got working man’s blood pumping in my veins
That drives this heart within me
And I gave my sweat to the job I lost
For all the good it did me
Now I’ve got nothing worth a damn to show for it
And nothing much left to lose
Just one more man left behind
In the land of blue-collar blues

Yeah my wife left when I started drinkin’
In a dark place with too much time for thinkin’
Tryin’ to drown out all the voices in my head
And find a reason to get out of bed

Chorus
I got workingman’s blood pumping through my veins
That drives this heart within me
And I gave my sweat to the job I lost
For all the good it did me
Now I’ve got nothing worth a damn to show for it
And nothing much left to lose
Just one more man left behind
In the land of blue-collar blues
