* means strum once and mute N.. It's too damn early in the morning I should be sleeping in my bed * But I'm slavin' away workin' And I'll be workin' till I'm dead * N.. All this working makes me boring And it's going to my head * I'd rather just play hooky And go fishin' instead This 9 to 5 it ain't for me now So I struck out on my own * Livin' life from sea to sea now State to state without a home I tried workin' in a restaurant And shinglin' them roofs * I was lyin' to myself then And it's time to face the truth * N.. It's too damn early in the morning I should be sleeping in her bed * But I'm slavin' away workin' And I'll be workin' till I'm dead * N.. It's close to lunch time and I'm hungry And my hands they hurt like hell * I'm just countin' away the minutes Til I hear that old lunch bell I tried workin' sellin' cars now But that scene it ain't for me * So I made my way out now Cut the ties and now I'm free * N.. It was too early in the morning But now I'm sleeping in her bed * I'm still slavin' away workin' And I'll be workin' till I'm dead * N.. Now I make my living singin' With my best friend by my side * This life it wouldn't be for you no * But for us we love the ride
