My Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'd need to trade some overtime for playtime
and leave behind the same old daily grind
For once I'd like to stand and feel the sunshine
I gonna do what I decide on MY TIME......
I keep working as the hours, fade away
Bite my tongue and keep a big smile on my face
I've been that other guy that sweats all the time
Can't make ends meet with his ass on the line
He can't keep up - he keeps falling behind,
it's a long.........road
CHORUS 1:
When the Clock strikes four, I'm out that door
and my life becomes my own
I won't have to be accounted for
work my fingers to the bone
" My Time" ain't gonna be no "Work Time"
I won't let another weekend slip away
Gonna take my precious freedom, every day
I won't complain or moan and talk on the phone
or show up late no I won't throw stones
I'll do my job and I'll do it right
cuz it's a long.........road
CHORUS 2:
When the Clock strikes four, I'm out that door
& my life becomes my own
I won't have to be accounted for,
work my fingers to the bone
No more ringing of a thousand phones
someone always wanting more
I can rest my feet, be worry-free
in the comfort of my home
Soon I'll sign my name and cash my paycheck
Though a dollar now ain't worth a dime
But I'll be kickin' back and watchin' Star Trek
Yeah I don't mind I'm gonna unwind, I will decide
because it's MY TIME......
CHORUS 3:
When the Clock strikes four, I'm out that door
and my life becomes my own
I won't have to be accounted for
work my fingers to the bone
No more ringing of a thousand phones
someone always wanting more
I can rest my feet, watch DVD’s,
you can find me in the zone
" My Time" ain't gonna be no "Work Time"
