Work, work, work
Day after day
50 hour week, 40 hour pay
No time to get over all this, overtime
Yeah, I'm always runnin'
But, 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 kicking that car in drive
Yeah, I'm always runnin'
But, 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 trying to climb
If I ever get lucky, if I ever get rich
Gonna tow my life up outta this ditch
Watch the world go by while I unwind
Yeah, I'm always runnin'
But, I'm always runnin' behind
