(hmmm-mm) She counts the dollar bills beneath the kitchen light
Another double shift on a Saturday night
Writing down the orders,
wiping down the bar
Putting every dollar in a mason jar
Feet are aching, but her mind is clear
She’s got a blueprint for a brand new year
(oh yeah) She’s gonna buy the keys
and open up the door
No more sweeping up someone else's floor From the apron strings to
the owner's dream
Building up her life on a pocket full of green
She knows the menu from the first line to the end
She knows the regulars and treats them like a friend
They ask her when she’s leaving,
she just smiles and says
I’m saving up my dreams for some better days
Two hundred dollars more,
a signature to sign
Leaving all the heavy trays and orders far behind
She can smell the coffee brewing in her mind
She’s gonna buy the keys and open up the door
No more sweeping up someone else's floor From the apron strings to
the owner's dream
Building up her life on a pocket full of green (yeah!)
She's counting down the days
Turning those tips into her own place (hmmm)
