Banjo Back Roads

(hey, hey, yeah!)

Monday morning, alarm goes off,

Hit that snooze like I’m the boss.

Coffee brewing, shoes half tied,

My motivation’s still inside.

Clocking in to make that pay,

Dreaming ’bout my holiday.

Work all week to earn some cash,

Then watch it disappear real fast!

We work, work, work to make that money,

Then spend it all on something funny.

Work all year to get away,

Pay for a trip where we don’t get paid!

We work for food,

we work for rent,

Then wonder where the paycheck went.

It’s a crazy game,

but here we stay,

Working hard just to get away!

Bought a car to drive to work,

Need the job to pay for it.

Bought some clothes to look real nice,

Just to wear them working overtime!

Friday comes, we celebrate,

Sunday night, we contemplate.

“Where’d the weekend go so fast?” Monday says,

“I’M BAAAACK!” at last!

One day I’ll retire,

that’s what they say,

Sleep till noon and fish all day.

But knowing me, when that day comes,

I’ll probably get bored and find another job! (hahaha)

So work, work, work and laugh a little,

Life’s too short to stay in the middle.

Make that money, take that break,

Enjoy the life your hard work makes.

We work for family,

dreams, and play, And maybe that’s the point anyway.

So punch that clock and proudly say: “I’m working hard...

SO I CAN GET AWAY!” (yee-haw!)
