Work work work day after day
Fifty hour week for forty hour pay
No time to get over all this overtime
Yeah I'm always running but I'm always running behind
I got a friday night date with my sweetheart
Already late and the car won't start
Lord I feel like kicking that car and cry
Yeah I'm always running but I'm always running behind
All my life it's been this way
One dollar short and one day late
One run lower on the ladder that I'm trying to climb
But if I ever get lucky if I ever get rich
Gonna toe my life up out of this ditch
Watch the world go by while I unwind
Yeah I'm always running but I'm always running behind
All my life it's been this way
One dollar short and one day late
One run lower on the ladder I'm trying to climb
If I ever get lucky if I ever get rich
Gonna toe my life up out of this ditch
Watch the world go by while I unwind
Yeah I'm always running but I'm always running behind
Lord I'm always running but I'm always running
Be be high
Oh lord
