At the local diner



Just outside of town



He comes in a hour early



Just to beat the morning crowd



He stares out his window



And stirs his coffee cup



Another day another dollar



Short of catchin' up





Same old job, same old dull routine



In his heart he knows what it brings







Chorus



A two bedroom house for his family of three



He's giving 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 needing braces, and Betty's needing time



And the problems that he's facing



There all building up inside





Same old job, same old dull routine



But in his heart he knows what it brings





Repeat Chorus





Same old job, same old dull routine



But in his heart he knows what it brings





Repeat Chorus
