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
