 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.
