Hands of a Working Man

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 catchin up Same old job and same old dull routine But in his heart he knows what it brings A two bedroom house for his family of three He's givin' his all, makin' ends meet A secondhand 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, standin' in line He waits to punch the time clock, a million worries on his mind Oh, Jimmy's needin' braces and Betty's needin' time And the problems that he's facin, they're all building up inside Same old job and same old dull routine But in his heart he knows what it brings A two bedroom house for his family of three He's givin' his all, makin' ends meet A secondhand 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 and same old dull routine But in his heart he knows what it brings A two bedroom house for his family of three He's givin' his all, makin' ends meet A secondhand 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
