I work at the Big Star on old 405
|
I make 6 bucks an hour
|
And I work steady nights
|
Well it might not be much
|
but it's all that I need
|
In that little glass booth
|
in that highway to dreams
|
|
I was not that good of a student at school
|
But this life taught me lessons
|
that made me no fool
|
Oh my mom and dad raised me
|
by that golden rule
|
In a world that gets ruthless
|
a world that gets cruel
|
|
Fill'er up
|
let me check your oil sir
|
Cash or card
|
let me get your change
|
Just turn right
|
when you see that big church sign
|
Just go straight
|
and you'll be on your way
|
|
I had me a girl once
|
and my ring she wore
|
But her father said she
|
could not see me no more
|
Oh I know it'd be different
|
if I weren't so poor
|
So I'm writing these songs
|
trying to open some doors
|
|
Well that's enough crying
|
over used to be's
|
Got to write these songs
|
get that girl back to me
|
I'm a man with conviction
|
I've got things to do
|
When that sun starts a rising
|
Oh, when that sun starts a rising
|
my night shifts are through
|
I work at the big star on ol' 405
|
