[Verse 1] Coffee brews in a quiet kitchen Sun ain’t up but the worries are Boots by the door, keys on the table Life don’t care how tired you are Radio talks about better days I ain’t sure when mine will show But I say a prayer and grab my lunch And head down that same old road [Chorus] Alarm clock sounds Roll out of bed Heading into work Another day of dread Bills pile up What else is new? Same old story What’s a man to do? [Verse 2] Punch the clock, shake a few hands Boss man says, “We’re pushin’ through” Dreams get small under overtime When the ends won’t ever meet the means But I keep my head and earn my pay ’Cause quit ain’t in my blood I got mouths to feed and pride to keep And that’s reason enough [Chorus] Alarm clock sounds Roll out of bed Heading into work Another day of dread Bills pile up What else is new? Same old story What’s a man to do? [Bridge] Daddy said, “Son, it won’t be fair But it’s yours to carry on” You do the best with what you’ve got And you stand when it feels all wrong So I hold tight to a little faith And a hope that pulls me through [Chorus] Alarm clock sounds Roll out of bed Heading into work Another day of dread Bills pile up What else is new? Same old story What’s a man to do? [Outro] Yeah, I keep showin’ up… What’s a man to do…
