I wake up every morning, same old grind
Chasing dreams I left behind
Clockin' in, clockin' out, day after day
Feels like I'm running, but I'm stuck in place
I traded time for nickels and dimes
Ain't no gold at the end of this line
The years roll by, and I wonder why
I sold my soul for a suit and tie
Sold my soul for a suit and tie
Chasin' the high, just to get by
Worked my hands, but I can't fly
I sold my soul for a suit and tie
Empty dreams in an empty sky
Tell me how the years just passed me by
I gave it all, but I don't know why
Sold my soul for a suit and tie
The office lights, they burn so cold
The promises they made, they're gettin' old
The ladder's tall, but it don't go high
Just another man under the lie
I used to believe there'd be something more
But now I'm standing at a locked-up door
The paper stacks, they rise and fall
But I ain't livin' no life at all
Sold my soul for a suit and tie
Chasin' the high, just to get by
Worked my hands, but I can't fly
I sold my soul for a suit and tie
Empty dreams in an empty sky
Tell me how the years just passed me by
I gave it all, but I don't know why
Sold my soul for a suit and tie
Every dream's got a price to pay
And I gave it all away
Now I'm standin' at the edge
Wonderin' what's left in my name
Sold my soul for a suit and tie
Chasin' the high, just to get by
Worked my hands, but I can't fly
I sold my soul for a suit and tie
Empty dreams in an empty sky
Tell me how the years just passed me by
I gave it all, but I don't know why
Sold my soul for a suit and tie
I gave it all, but I don't know why
Sold my soul for a suit and tie
