Hands Of A Working Man Lyrics

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 upSame old job, same old dull routine
But in his heart, he knows what it bringsA 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 manDown 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 insideSame old job, same old dull routine
But in his heart, he knows what it bringsA 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 manSame old job, same old dull routine
But in his heart, he knows what it bringsA 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
