It's 5AM again, alarm clocks ringing in my head. I put some clothes on, out the door, hop in my truck, gotta punch in right on time. As soon as I started working, Lord, the one thing on my mind is
I could be fishin, I bet you I'm missin a nice day on the water. Soaking up the sunshine, feeling just fine without a worry or a bother. But I'm breaking my back trying to make my pay, working my life away
I bet that water temperature is just right, bet you one good cast and I'd be reeling in a big one on my line. Oo yeah, a man deserves a break every now and then. Oh but right now the boss man's down my neck and Lord knows I can't win
I could be fishin, I bet you I'm missin a nice day on the water. Soaking up the sunshine, feeling just fine without a worry or a bother. But I'm breaking my back trying to make my pay, working my life away
Maybe I'll call in tomorrow and take a day, grab my fishing poles and head out to the lake, yeah yeah yeah
I'm breaking my back trying to make my pay, all work and no play. I'm working my life away. Think I'll take myself a day, I need to stop working my life away, yeah
