Lyrics
Another dollar, it?s nothing but fair
Five-cent increments add up before you get there
Nickels tickin' it looks like a clock
But when it reads ten sixty five you know that it?s not
By the way
Take the time to calculate, my day
Then I contemplate
What got in the way
I cannot go home
I?m going further, I really don?t care
If I drive right by my stop cause nobody?s there
And if I turn back, admit that I?m lost
I?ll have to drive around all night in spite of the cost
It?s getting dark outside, it won?t be too bright
But now I?m caught with it, I?m undecided
How can I get up and keep excited
I always thought that I would take a ride
