Do Me Right
Another work day, I fight the freeway
Another brick in the wall
Big blue world goes round and round, round
Traffic in a funnel, heading through the tunnel
Someone cuts and flips me off
I won't let stupid get me down, down
You can look to the sky for a little sunshine
Stare until you done gone blind
You could spend your life and not realize
What you have right in front of your eyes
Thank God your alive, alright
Pay it forward in kind
I don't wanna fight, but I might
Trying to get by
Just do me right, do me right
There's no clear view, from a rearview
Objects may appear
A lot closer than you think, than you think
Don't look behind, time out of mind
Days disappear
It's all over in a blink, in a blink
You can look to the sky for a little sunshine
Stare until you done gone blind
You could spend your life and not realize
What you have right in front of your eyes
Thank God your alive, alright
Pay it forward in kind
I don't wanna fight, but I might
Trying to get by
Just do me right, do me right
It takes some mad skills, paying my bills
Working 'til the Kingdom Come
Hold to the good things that you find, that you find
Be a good neighbor, that's good labor
Life Lesson 101
Happy is a state of mind, state of mind
You can look to the sky for a little sunshine
Stare until you done gone blind
You could spend your life and not realize
What you have right in front of your eyes
Thank God your alive, alright
Pay it forward in kind
I don't wanna fight, but I might
Trying to get by
Just do me right, do me right
