Loudon Wainwright Iii - In a Hurry lyrics

I know you're in a hurry You're probably late for work That job must make you crazy That ulcer's got to hurt All those problems back at home They're just k**ing you The wife, the kids, the dog, the house I see what you go through I see you in the station Come off the morning train You're always in a hurry You always look the same Your briefcase seems so heavy Your necktie's tied so tight You always look so tired Like you've been up all night You never seem to see me When I come up to you And I ask you for money Like I always do You're always in a hurry Why don't you slow down We're both trying to make it In this sh**ty town I'm not in a hurry Nothing to hurry for I sleep in this station I sleep on the floor I hold out this coffee cup There's no coffee in there Just nickels, dimes and quarters And pennies people spare I know the way the world is You have and I have not I don't want to trade places I don't want all you've got But if you give me something It might help you too You're carrying a heavy load I see what you go through I know you're in a hurry You're probably late for work That job must make you crazy That boss must be a jerk All those problems back at home They're just k**ing you The wife, the kids, the dog, the house I see what you go through
