I do have a melody for this song.... (which I'm not sure I like).. and I have a chorus (which I think may be weak?) I actually have 2 different choruses, but here is the first version. This is a real place by the way. (smile). We all see them at every little town off every off ramp all over America. I think there is a more common thread, but can't seem to put my finger on it.
At Eddie's Market & Hardware
in Pegram, TN
six tiny booths by the deli in the back
that's the place where they all meet
The trucks start pullin in
trying to beat the sun that's comin up
old men in F250's arrive
for the meeting of the breakfast club
CHORUS
It's like a party with coffee
and everybody knows your name
and they still like you and claim you
just because you came
And they can and they do and they will so can you
If you wanna know what's up
you'll have to wait your turn and hope
for a seat at the breakfast club
Mr. Brown and Jack sit down
and the rest just wander in
like a silent obligation
they all agreed to way back when
Eddie puts out the American flag
and everyone grabs a cup
it's half past eight and you're all late
for the meeting of the breakfast club
CHORUS

I love the lyric. I used to travel a lot for work and often grab breakfast at McDonald's. There was very often a gathering of this sort going on. I like JAPOV's suggestion about the hats too.

Yup, there everywhere!!! I just want the chorus to be really strong and actually "say" something about these groups that are all over the country.

I like the idea. You're right, I've seen breakfast clubs all over. I think that your verses painted a picture more than your chorus. I think you have something.
