Just a Paycheck

Working extra shifts try and make ends meet Back aches blisters on my hands and feet Got to stay ahead of the tax man and banks Think I'd get a Christmas card or a thanks Might be able to limp back to my old Chevy Both of us got a little rust reliable and ready Keep her between the lines n take a deep breath Thirty miles to see you and sleep like death Lord knows I try and be a good man Work hard stay true provide what I can But I get to thinking and feeling mighty rough When my body and soul ain't nearly enough Lights on for me leading me like a torch Three packages piled up on that front porch Guess she got bored and used her shopping powers Each click is adding how many work hours? Lord knows I try and be a good man Work hard stay true provide what I can But I get to thinking and feeling mighty rough When my body and soul ain't nearly enough It's already tomorrow when I crack the front door Too late to hug the kids but we will endure Time money and love lost in responsibilities So others can have life's little amenities Lord knows I try and be a good man Work hard stay true provide what I can But I get to thinking and feeling mighty rough When my body and soul ain't nearly enough
