I wake up every morning, bright and early
|
Roll out of bed but I'm never quite alone
|
Tension is pulling me in all directions
|
And all these problems use me as their own
|
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
|
At any time I could explode
|
I need some piece of mind, it's got me tired
|
Don't wanna lose it, but I'm turning down that road
|
|
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself to thin
|
We all need a moment in our lives
|
Work's hard, the days too long
|
And that's just where it begins
|
Tension has had us all this time
|
|
I sit in traffic every single morning
|
Just as I arrive, I'm slaving to the grind
|
Making the money so I feed my family
|
But I can't raise them, 'cause I ain't got the time
|
I got no free days on my busy schedule
|
I turn the page and it's the same
|
Don't like my situation, you don't either
|
Don't wanna look back scared I'm workin' life away
|
|
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself to thin
|
We all need a moment in our lives
|
Work's hard, the days too long
|
And that's just where it begins
|
Tension has had us all this time
|
|
But every now and then
|
I drive alone
|
An open road
|
Hot summer day
|
A gentle breeze that feels alright
|
On the road
|
And I can feel no pain
|
Only strength
|
Enjoy the sights
|
I feel alive
|
Relaxing here just feels alright
|
Far from home
|
|
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself to thin
|
We all need a moment in our lives
|
Work's hard, the days too long
|
And that's just where it begins
|
Tension has had us all this time
|
