It’s been one of those days
Weeks, months, and years
Livin’ life like that could
bring a grown man to teers
Sitting here watching the clock move slow
I’m ready to go, but got nowhere to go
It’s the same shit, just a different day
Like living in my own version of Groundhog Day
I’m up before the sun… breakfast… just coffee.. black
Seems like I just left work, now it’s time to head back
My boss makes a dollar and I make a dime
Then the government takes more than their fair share of mine
But, boss man says we’re all family here
Still ain’t been invited on his family vacations each year
This ain’t the song you want, It’s the song you need
A reminder to take a break to just relax and breathe
There ain’t much livin’ in makin’ a livin’
but you learn that too late
Can’t turn back time
when you’re old and gray
So, take some time, to look and see
If you’re workin’ for your wants or your needs
The truth hurts, and you know it
You’re workin’ for the wrong things, and you’re showin’ it
So stop for a minute, and go back to the start
Look at your life, dig deep in your heart
‘Cause, there ain’t much livin’ in makin’ a livin’
When you’re working for the wrong things anyway
No more fishin’, no back porch nights
Just overtime pay and fluorescent lights
I got a garage full of things I don’t even touch
But memories? I ain’t got much
It’s about time I dig real deep
Look at how I’m living my life
Spend less time at work
And more time with the kids and wife
What’s a raise worth if you’re broke inside
What’s a full tank if you’re empty in life
You can’t hug your kids with your time on loan
You can’t buy back love once it’s gone
And the saddest truth, my friend, is this
You’re gonna miss the things you didn’t know you’d miss
This ain’t the song you want, It’s the song you need
A reminder to take a break to just relax and breathe
There ain’t much livin’ in makin’ a livin’
but you learn that too late
Can’t turn back time
when you’re old and gray
So, take some time, to look and see
If you’re workin’ for your wants or your needs
The truth hurts, and you know it
You’re workin’ for the wrong things, and you’re showin’ it
So stop for a minute, and go back to the start
Look at your life, dig deep in your heart
‘Cause, there ain’t much livin’ in makin’ a livin’
When you’re working for the wrong things anyway
By the time you realize your living life wrong
it’s already too late
