Without 'Em Songtext
von John Morgan

He hits that diner ′fore the sun comes up
She already knows what to pour in his cup
It's been that way since before they paved that two-lane road
He drinks it down heads for the field
And she′s got a day worth of plates to fill
You might think when you think about them
That he's just a farmer up on a tractor
Sun on his back prayin' for the rain
And she′s just a waitress pourin′ a coffee
Trying to make it through another day
No you won't ever see their name in lights
And most people just pass ′em on by
Might not think too much about 'em
But this world wouldn′t turn without 'em
Yeah Miss Mary taught school ′til she was 75
Now she works two days at the Five And Dime
And old brother Joe's just a call away
Bumper sticker on his truck says Jesus Saves
You might see 'em and say
He′s just a preacher up on a Sunday Spreadin′ the word in a small town church
She's just a grandma ringin′ up groceries
Wearin' a smile and a name on her shirt
No you won′t ever see their name in lights
And most people just pass 'em on by
Might not think too much about ′em
But this world wouldn't turn without 'em
No this world wouldn′t turn, world wouldn′t turn without 'em
Yeah he′s just a soldier fightin' for something
Most of us don′t understand
And she's just a mama askin′ the good Lord
Please bring him back home again
You won't ever see their name in lights
And most people just pass 'em on by
Might not think too much about ′em
But this world wouldn′t turn without 'em
This world wouldn′t turn, wouldn't turn without ′em
Well he's just a farmer up on a tractor
Sun on his back prayin′ for the rain
