Owen Temple - Making A Life lyrics

Waitress in a pink dress Works before the sun's up Barely pays the rent Pouring coffee into coffee cups To wake the truck drivers up Then out on the interstate He's out in a traffic grind Got to keep the rig safe Cause he's got a family to keep in mind And man that's the bottom line Getting by making the ends meet Do what it takes to stay on their feet Not gonna give up, not gonna give in Making a life, not just a living Making a life, not just a living In an office building downtown He's wearing a suit and tie He could make more money If he wasn't such an honest guy But some things money can't buy In a flower shop downstairs She'll close it up early today She might lose some business But there's no price she wouldn't pay To see her daughter's part in the play Chorus And the flowers on the dashboard Are hangin' low Life's burning like a flashbulb But dying slow - dying slow Chorus
