Lyrics

Strain

(verse) One day I took a close look at my life and found.
Strain everywhere, inside and out and all around.
I hear it at my door, ringing my telephone.
Knocking me down when with a freind or all alone.

(chorus) Well, it's a strain to fall asleep now.
And it's a strain to stay awake.
And it's a strain to earn my keep too.
And it's a strain to have to give and take.

(verse) I hear it in my head and on the radio.
Up in the air, out on the road, no matter where I go.
It don't care who you are or how much pull you got.
Or what you do, if you're a king even if you're not.

(chorus/lead/chorus)
