AT THE LOCAL DINER
JUST OUTSIDE OF TOWN
HE COMES IN
AN HOUR EARLY
JUST TO BEAT
THE MORNIN' CROWD
HE STARES OUT
THE WINDOW
AND STIRS HIS
COFFEE CUP
ANOTHER DAY
ANOTHER DOLLAR
SHORT OF CATCHIN' UP
SAME OLD JOB
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 SECOND HAND CAR
A WASHING MACHINE
THEY MAY NOT
HAVE MUCH
BUT HE GETS WHAT
THEY NEED
WITH THE HANDS
OF A WORKING MAN
DOWN AT THE FACTORY
STANDING 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
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 SECOND HAND CAR
A WASHING MACHINE
THEY DON'T HAVE MUCH
BUT HE GETS WHAT
THEY NEED
WITH THE HANDS
OF A WORKING MAN
SAME OLD JOB
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 SECOND HAND CAR
A WASHING MACHINE
THEY DON'T HAVE MUCH
BUT HE GETS WHAT
THEY NEED
WITH THE HANDS
OF A WORKING MAN
WITH THE HANDS
OF A WORKING MAN
