I work at the Big Star on North 405,
I make 6 bucks an hour and I work steady nights.
Well it might not be much, but its all that I need,
In that little glass booth, in that highway to dreams.
I was not that good of a student in school,
But this life taught me lessons that made me no fool.
Oh my mum and dad raised me by that golden rule,
In a world that gets ruthless, a world that gets cruel.
Fill her up, let me check your oil sir.
Cash your card and let me get your change.
Just turn right and 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.
*REPEAT CHORUS*
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 risin', oh when that sun starts risin',
My night shifts are through.
*REPEAT CHORUS*
Just go straight and you'll be on your way.
I work at the Big Star on North 405.
