A Day In The Life

River Road


I'm up and out the door before the sun comes up 
Spillin' coffee, banging gears in my pickup truck 
Racing every red light, getting to the jobsite 
Bossman hollerin', boys you're burnin' daylight 
Sweatin' through a hard hat lunch in a brown sack 
Swing a hammer all day tryin' to get the bills paid 

Oh Oh, just a working man makin' his way 
Oh Oh, but you'll never hear me complain 
There's a whole lot to it but I gotta get through it 
So I'll do it til i get it done 
Just a day in the life of an 8 to 5, get it right 
Nail drivin' law abidin' hard workin' son of a gun 

Yeah when 5 o'clock come I'm burnin' up the road 
Haul it home shower down slick it up gotta go 
There's a roadside dancehall just about nightfall 
That's the place to be y'all women waitin' wall to wall 
Wearin' out the two step maybe learn a new step 
Crawlin' home by daylight get back to the jobsite 

Oh Oh, just a working man makin' his way 
Oh Oh, but you'll never hear me complain 
There's a whole lot to it but I gotta get through it 
So I'll do it til i get it done 
Just a day in the life of a dance floor dynamo 
Honky Tonk Romeo, 8 to 5 get it right nail drivin' 
Law abidin' good timin' hard workin 
Easy lovin' son of a gun 

Oh Oh, just a working man makin' his way 
Oh Oh, but you'll never hear me complain 
I know I'm burnin' both ends again and again 
But a man's gotta have his fun 
Another day in the life of a dance floor dynamo 
Honky Tonk Romeo, 8 to 5 get it right nail drivin' 
Law abidin' good timin' hard workin 
Easy lovin' son of a gun 

Another day in the life of a dance floor dynamo 
Honky Tonk Romeo, 8 to 5 get it right nail drivin' 
Law abidin' good timin' hard workin 
Easy lovin' son of a gun
