Another Monday
Another monday here we go again
starting a work week knowing there will be no rest
Another monday with no time for friends
Beginning a week again and trying my best
Another monday eyes bright and ready to go
Trying hard to make the money to pay the bills
Another monday hands still cut and hurting so
Trying to make it threw a 16 hr day and taking pills
Another monday back to 16 hr days and no sleep
making that money the honest way
Another monday hoping to make as much as i did last week
going home so tired you cant see at the end of the day
Another monday that feels like going to jail
you can never be happy working this much
Another monday dehydrated and turning pail
working for the weekend to feel her touch
Another monday leaving loved ones behind
knowing when you get home they will be asleep
Another monday swet poring down making you blind
trying to sneak in the door without a peep
Another monday knowing theres 4 days left ahead
not knowing if you will last threw another day of work
Another monday thinking it must be better to be dead
waking up but eyes staying closed until the coffee perks
Another monday bills are higher food and gas cost more
leaving for work before any one else wakes up
Another monday grabbing your tools and walking out the door
is it just me that has to work this hard or does everyone have bad luck?
