Apron On, Name Tag Crooked

Lyrics

Alarm at six, I'm up before the sun
First job, first shift, here we go, here I come
Ironed my shirt twice, shoes laced tight
Mama said breathe, said you're gonna be alright
Bus pulls up, I'm the first one on
Nervous in my chest but my stride is strong
Manager shakes my hand, says welcome aboard
Hands me an apron, I'm feeling like a lord

Name tag crooked, but I'm standing tall
Learning every button, gonna learn it all

Apron on, name tag crooked
Day one, yeah, I'm booked and I'm hooked
Apron on, name tag crooked
Every little step, yeah, I'm making it look good
Say my name, say my name
First paycheck coming, I'm in the game
Apron on, name tag crooked
Watch me rise, watch me rise

Lunch rush hits and the line's out the door
I'm mixing up orders, then I'm sure once more
Co-worker winks, says you got this, kid
Showed me the trick that the old hands did
Smile at the customer, say have a good one
Feet are tired but I'm barely done
Counting every minute, counting every dime
Learning that the hustle is a work of time

Name tag crooked, but I'm standing tall
Learning every button, gonna learn it all

Apron on, name tag crooked
Day one, yeah, I'm booked and I'm hooked
Apron on, name tag crooked
Every little step, yeah, I'm making it look good
Say my name, say my name
First paycheck coming, I'm in the game
Apron on, name tag crooked
Watch me rise, watch me rise

Mop the floor, then I wipe the glass
Every little moment, yeah, it's gonna pass
But I'll remember the first time I clocked in
The shake in my hands and the grin on my skin

Apron on, name tag crooked
Day one, yeah, I'm booked and I'm hooked
Apron on, name tag crooked
Every little step, yeah, I'm making it look good
Say my name, say my name
First paycheck coming, I'm in the game
Apron on, name tag crooked
Watch me rise, watch me rise

Clock out, head up, bus ride home
Tomorrow I'm back, I'm not alone
