lyrics

Working a job that I can’t stand
For less than I’m worth, but all that I can command
Boss looking for a volunteer to stay on late tonight
I can’t wait to leave, but I need the overtime

I take every shift I can cuz I’m in deep
Been falling behind since the Chevrolet went dead
I built her back up myself, but parts ain’t cheap
I just can’t seem to get ahead

They say if you work hard, there’s some ladder you’ll climb
But I’m not convinced there’s any ladder to find
Burying my dreams, drowning in debt
I just can’t seem to get ahead

I don’t desire any fancy things
Riches and wealth and the bitterness they breed
But it’d be nice to take my baby out to dinner now and then
Or buy her some roses just for no reason

When I get home tonight she’ll be asleep in bed
Ten years older than the day we were wed
Things didn’t turn out how I promised they would be
Oh I just can’t seem to get ahead

They say if you work hard, there’s some ladder you’ll climb
But I’m not convinced there’s any ladder to find
Burying my dreams, drowning in debt
I just can’t seem to get ahead
