Lyrics
Got a job in the city
Which I hate
Long hours drain me
I drive an hour both ways
Sometimes I dream of leaving
And travelling the world
But it's hard to leave the benefits
And a salary this good
Still find I'm dreaming of you
No matter what I try to do
Chorus
I feel like I'm falling
This traffic keeps stalling me
The roads going nowhere
But I keep on driving
Used to think I had no tied
I could drop things just like that
Since I started working
I'm no longer like that
I get up too early
And I come home too late
Seems I'm always sleeping
But I'm still tired anyways
Still find I'm dreaming of you
No matter what I try to do
Chorus
I never thought I'd get this way
Where work runs my life
I just can't pick up and run away
The perks of this job keep me tied
Chorus
