I get up.
I face the day unfolding before me.
Oh, I feel down,
When I think about the 9-to-5 grind.
Well I don't,
Need to feed my ego with money.
So I try to look around.
Try to find a reason,
I'm waiting for the season,
I'll finally reap what I have sown.
Got a girl,
Who sees there's something special about me.
Hey, we get down.
We forget about the 9-to-5 grind.
Got some friends,
Who love a song to brighten the night time.
So we all got the blues.
Guitars at 20 paces,
A sea of smiling faces,
Paying our dues.
And I long for the day when that's all I have to do.
No more traffic, no more tools
No more fixin' for fools.
No more "yes, Sir or Ma'am.
Gonna be who I am.
I just wanna play.
Want to give this work away.
They ain't got a clue,
So I'll bid them adieu.
And I long for the day when that's all i have to do.
Got a dream.
Some day I'll be somebody special.
Hey I got a plan,
To get me out to make my way.
But it's so hard.
A helping hand can make it seem easy.
So we all play along.
Laughing and writing
Loving and fighting
Singing our songs.
And I long for the day when that's all I have to do.
