Hands of a working man

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
