|
At the local diner just outside of town |
|
He comes in an hour early just to beat the morning crowd |
|
He stares out the window and stirs his coffee cup |
|
Another day, another dollar short of catchin' up |
|
Same old job and same old dull routine |
|
But in his heart, he knows what it brings |
|
A two bedroom house for his family of three |
|
He's givin' his all, makin' ends meet |
|
A secondhand car, a washin' machine |
|
They may not have much, but he gets what they need |
|
With the hands of a workin' man |
|
Down at the factory, standin' in line |
|
He waits to punch the time clock, a million worries on his mind |
|
Oh, Jimmy's needin' braces and Betty's needin' time |
|
And the problems that he's facin', they're all building up inside |
|
Same old job and same old dull routine |
|
But in his heart he knows what it brings |
|
A two bedroom house for his family of three |
|
He's givin' his all, makin' ends meet |
|
A secondhand car, a washin' machine |
|
They don't have much, but he gets what they need |
|
With the hands of a workin' man |
