G
Waitress in a pink dress, works before the sun's up
G                                         Am  
Barely pays the rent, pouring coffee into coffee cups
                  G
To wake the truck drivers up
     G
Then out on the interstate. he's out in a traffic grind
G                                                   Am
Got to keep the rig safe cause he's got a family to keep in mind
                   D
And man that's the bottom line


Chorus:
        C             G
Getting by making the ends meet
           D                G
Do what it takes to stay on their feet
          C                  G
Not gonna give up, not gonna give in
         D                Em
Making a life, not just a living
         D                G  
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

        B                                    Em
And the flowers on the dashboard are hangin' low
       B                                  Em           A
Life's burning like a flashbulb but dying slow - dying slow


Chorus
