9 To 5
Alison Krauss
[Intro] / [Verse] I tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition And yawn and stretch trying to come to life I jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping Out on the streets the traffic starts jumping With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5. [Chorus] Working 9 to 5 what a way to make a living Barely getting by it’s all taking and no giving They just use your mind and they never give you credit It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it. dim7 They let you dream just to watch’em shatter You’re just a step on the boss man’s ladder But you’ve got dreams he’ll never take away You’re in the same boat with a lot of your friends Waiting for the day your ship’ll come in The tides gonna turn and it’s all gonna roll you away. [Chorus] Working 9 to 5 what a way to make a living Barely getting by it’s all taking and no giving They just use your mind and they never give you credit It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it. [Outro]
