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 catching 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 giving his all, making 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 needing braces And Betty's needing time And the problems that he's facing 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 giving his all, making 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 giving his all, making 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
