Good morning …
Just one more cup of coffee
Take the highway
I’m gonna make it to the line
And put my time in
Like my old man before me
Died in dreamland
With the union by his side
But not tonight
Tonight I’m gonna try a little harder
But come the light I’m gonna be working
But not tonight
Tonight I’m gonna try a little harder
But come the light I’m gonna be Working again …
Talk to me
Just don’t talk at me
Don’t look through me
Don’t push me to the wall
Cause right now, right now
There ain’t a lot left to lose
And from where I sit It just ain’t that far a fall
But not tonight
Tonight I’m gonna try a little harder
But come the light I’m gonna be working
But not tonight Tonight I’m gonna try a little harder
But come the light I’m gonna be Working again …
Cause out on the street tonight
There ain’t nothing to look up to but the sky
It’s so close a reach tonight
All the sellers, all the buyers All the lovers, all the liars
And baby You keep telling me what you’re needing
If only I just had a little more to give
But I’m tapped out, tapped out
Broke down and busted
And this ain’t no It just ain’t no way to live
But not tonight
Tonight I’m gonna try a little harder
But come the light I’m gonna be working
But not tonight
Tonight I’m gonna try a little harder
But come the light I’m gonna be Working again …
I’m gonna be working again…
