Drive time traffic in the pourin' rain
Six car pile-up in the passin' lane
Can't help but think while I shake my fist
Life's too long to live like this.
Mailbox fillin' up with bills to pay
Bossman hangin' on my back all day
Gonna work me to the bone I guess
Life's too long to live like this.
Come here baby give your man a hug
All we got that they can't take is love
ain't got much to lose
But these stay good, stay home, way too blues.
Ain't no future in this TV Guide
Ain't no reason we should stay inside
Someone's havin' all the fun we've missed
Life's too long to live like this.
Come here baby give your man a hug
All we got that they can't take is love
ain't got much to lose
But these stay good, stay home, way too blues.
Come here baby give your man a kiss
Life's too long to live like this.
