Highway 69

Oh Ooooh Open my eyes starin' at the ceiling Up bright an early with this sinking feeling I roll a cigarette and make a brew Caffeine and nicotine might pull me through My manager forgets my name Faceless acquaintances all doing the same Burning the midnight candle at both ends Will I make it through the week? That depends Countin' down the hours 'Til I walk back through my door Keys in the ignition Oh into the breach once more I can't stand it, I'm so sick of Driving down the same old road So tired of wishing, got too much ambition I'm just, just doin' what I been told Treading on ice and spread too thin No use explainin' I don't know where to begin These old tires been rollin' far too long I used to love my life, oh what went wrong? Gonna bide my time 'Til I walk right out that door Hand in my notice I can't take this shit no more No, I can't stand it, I'm so sick of Driving down the same old road So tired of wishing, got too much ambition I'm just, just doin' what I been told Driving down those old white lines (On the Highway 69) Got these matchsticks under my eyes (On the Highway 69) (On the Highway 69) Just a few more hours and I'll roll right home to you Pour myself a stiff one Just what a man has got to do Living in the rat race Choking on the nine to five I pour myself another one Man's got to drink to stay alive Now I'm stuck behind the six eight five No, I can't stand it, I'm so sick of Driving down the same old road So tired of wishing, got too much ambition I'm just, just doin' what I been told Driving down those old white lines (On the Highway 69) Got these matchsticks under my eyes (On the Highway 69) No, I can't stand it, I'm so sick of Driving down the same old road So tired of wishing, got too much ambition I'm just, just doin' what I been told Driving down those old white lines (On the Highway 69) Got these matchsticks under my eyes (On the Highway 69) Oh, I'm gonna fake it until I make it But I'm getting high on the 69 If I don't break it, I'll fucking take it Sometimes I wonder why Giving everything I got At least I gave it a try Scream my lungs out 'til I'm shot But to what end? Perhaps he will die And one day we all will die F*ck it! We gave it a good old try Yeah!
