Sleeping on a planter at the port authority

Waiting for my bus to come

Seven scotch and sodas at the office party

Now I don't remember where I'm from

I think I had a black wallet in my back pocket

With a bus ticket and a picture of my baby inside

And if I make it home alive

I'm gonna get my shit together

Cause I can't live like this forever

You know I've come too far

And I don't want to fail

I got a new computer

And a bright future in sales, yeah yeah (yeah yeah)

Bright future in sales, yeah yeah (yeah yeah) yeah yeah

Heading for the airport on a misty morning

Gonna catch a flight to Baltimore

Try to kill an hour with a whiskey sour

If there's time I might have just one more

I gotta do some quick reading for the big meeting

But my head is spinning and I can't quite open my eyes

As long as I don't have to drive

I'm gonna get my shit together

Cause I can't live like this forever

You know I've come too far

And I don't want to fail

I got a new computer

And a bright future in sales, yeah yeah (yeah yeah)

Bright future in sales, yeah yeah (yeah yeah)

Bright future in sales, yeah yeah (yeah yeah)

Bright future in sales, yeah yeah (yeah yeah) yeah yeah

I had a line on a brand new account

But now I can't seem to find where I wrote that number down

I try to focus, I'm staring at the screen

Pretending like I know what all these little flashing lights

mean

(oh yeah)

I gotta do some quick reading for the big meeting

But my head is spinning and I can't quite open my eyes

I've gotta get my shit together

Cause I can't live like this forever

You know I've come too far

And I don't want to fail

I got a new computer

And a bright future in sales, yeah yeah (yeah yeah)

Bright future in sales, yeah yeah (yeah yeah)

Bright future in sales, yeah yeah (yeah yeah)

Bright future in sales, yeah yeah (yeah yeah) yeah yeah
