Never thought you′d be the kinda guy to get a day job
Nine-to-five, you're gonna take off
You′re gonna go against the grain
Never thought you be the kinda guy to take a safe route
By and by, you're gonna break out
The world's gonna know your name
So why ya sittin′ around?
Didya think it′d be easy?
I'll tell you if it was easy
Then everybody′d do it too
You say you haven't got the kinda time to take a beach day
′Cause you're too busy every weekday
To ever get up off your chair
You say you haven′t got the kinda time to get a girlfriend
'Cause you're too busy every weekend
You haven′t got a second to spare
So why ya sittin′ around?
Didya think it'd be easy?
I′ll tell you if it was easy
Then everybody'd do it too
You say you′re gonna leave the hard knock life behind
You're gonna hitch your little wagon up to a star
Oh, you say you′re gonna take the road less traveled by
No, you don't seem to be traveling very far
Never thought you'd be the kinda guy to get a day job
Nine-to-five, you′re gonna take off
You′re gonna go against the grain
So why ya sittin' around?
Didya think it′d be easy?
I'll tell you if it was easy
Then everybody′d do it too
You say you're chasing a dream?
Well, you′d better get moving
Every second you waste, the world you're trying to chase
Gets away from you
