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
