Lyrics
No Time To Live
I used to party at the river ?til we saw the mornin? sun.
Didn?t have money, but we sure had fun.
Now I punch a clock at the crack of dawn.
Since I took this job my party days are gone.
Chorus
?Cause it?s nose to the grindstone day after day
Ten hour?s work for eight hour?s pay
Seven days a week is all I can give
Workin? for a livin? don?t leave no time to live
All I wanted was a pickup and a place of my own.
Shoulda known better left well enough alone.
Now I?m makin? payments at two points over prime,
And every chance I get I?m pullin? overtime.
Chorus
Bridge
I dream some day I?ll do as I please.
Take a month off and head to the Keys.
Drink margaritas and sleep in the sand.
These are the dreams of a workin? man.
Instrumental
Chorus
Seven days a week is all I can give
Workin? for a livin? don?t leave no time to live.
Workin? for a livin? don?t leave no time to live
Workin? for a livin? don?t leave no time to live
No time to live
