runnin' behind

work

work

work day after day

fifty hour week

forty hour pay

not time to get over on this overtime

yea i'm always runnin'

i'm always runnin' behind

i got a friday night date with my sweetheart

i'm already late and the car won't start

lord

i feel like hittin that car and cryin'

yes i'm always runnin'

i'm always runnin' behind

all my life it's been this way

one dollar short and one day late

one rung lower on the ladder i'm tryin to climb

if i ever get lucky

if i ever get rich

gonna tow my life up out of this ditch

watch the world go by while i unwind

yeah i'm always running

but i'm alwayas runnin' behind
