12 Hours

When I rise
 It’s dark outside
Hit the road
 By star light
Never I see
 The morning sun
Hard at work
 Then it comes up
Work all day
 Till day is done
Then I go home
 With setting sun
Quick to bed
 In early eve
Sound a sleep
 Then sun goes down
The money don’t
 Made it good
Got to live
  Got to work

This is exactly how I feel when I drive to work in the dark daily, to avoid the worst traffic.
