Work, work, work,
Day after day.
50 hour week, 40 hour pay.
No time to get over all this,
Overtime.
Yeah, I'm always runnin',
But, I'm always runnin' behind.
I got a friday night date, with my sweetheart.
I'm already late, and the car won't start.
Lord, I feel like kickin' that car in drive.
Yeah, I'm always runnin',
But, I'm always runnin' behind.
All my life, it's been this way.
One dollar short, and one day late.
One rung lower on the ladder
I'm tryin' to climb.
If I ever get lucky, if I ever get rich,
Gonna tow my life up outta this ditch.
Watch the world go by while I unwind.
