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
