Help me find a way Or a good reason To get up out of this bed It seems no matter what I do Or how much I make It's never good enough To face the same problems The same debts Sometimes even adds more stress And I don't know who claimed This a simple life Try to walk in my shoes See through my eyes People just don't seem real Cause not matter what I do Or how much I make Is ever good enough Working takes up so much time It eats your life away It's hard to hold on to what I have Cause I keep finding myself Five steps forward Ten steps back Tryin' to get ahead But keep fallin' off track Running around and around again (repeat chorus) To pickup where you left off Is all you have to look forward to each day How do you get ahead When you're behind And the hole you've dug gets deeper Just to quit tryin is such a cop out i couldn't cheat myself And I don't-who claimed This a simple life All the money I make barely gets me by But I keep hanging on Cause not matter what I do Or how much I make Is ever good enough Working takes up so much time It eats your life away It's hard to hold on to what I have Cause I keep finding myself Five steps forward Ten steps back Tryin' to get ahead But keep fallin' off track Running around and around again [repeat chorus] All the money I make barely gets me by All the money I make is never good enough Working takes up so much time It eats your life away It's hard to hold on to what I have Cause I keep finding myself Five steps forward Ten steps back Tryin' to get ahead But keep fallin' off track Running around and around again [repeat chorus]
