A Dollar Short and A Day Late

I wake up with the sunrise boots on the ground Clocking in early but it's never enough somehow The bills keep stacking the truck's running hot But I keep on pushin' with all I've got They say hard work pays well I'm still waiting Guess I'm stuck in the rhythm of fate's frustration I'm always a dollar short and a day late Chasing down dreams with a worn out faith I keep on running but the finish line moves Life's a hard lesson, and I'm paying my dues But I ain't giving up no I won't break Even if I'm a dollar short and a day late The rain's been falling the crops won't grow The landlord's calling but my wallet's low I play my six string down at the bar For a couple of bucks and a tip in the jar The harder I try the more it feels like wading Through quicksand dreams but I keep on praying I'm always a dollar short and a day late Chasing down dreams with a worn out faith I keep on running but the finish line moves Life's a hard lesson and I'm paying my dues But I ain't giving up no I won't break Even if I'm a dollar short and a day late But there's a fire in my soul, it won't burn out I'll climb every mountain, no room for doubt Tomorrow might bring what today couldn't give I'll fight for this life, I was born to live Yeah, I'm always a dollar short and a day late Chasing down dreams with a worn out faith I keep on running but the finish line moves Life's a hard lesson, and I'm paying my dues But I ain't givin' up no I won't break Even if I'm a dollar short and a day late So I'll keep on working no matter my fate Even if I'm always just a dollar short and a day late.
