Making That Dime

3:30am its time to rise 3:30am gotta make that dime Get up and stretch Get coffee and dressed Sit at my computer Looking at the news Seeing what the world is up to While feeling nothing but blues Gotta get lunch ready Gotta get my posture ready Grab my bag and head for the door My time of freedom is now no more Driving down the dark roads Feeling the cool muggy breeze Dodging all the pot holes That you can hardly see Pulling into the parking lot Where sitting and waiting is due Thinking of my freedom Won't come until tw0. Here comes my crew My morning gang The boss just pulled in Now lets start the day Clocking into the computer Logging into the phone I think of you my dear Sitting home all alone How I wish I could stay with you How I wish we had more time But someone has to get out there And make that worthless dime Sitting at my desk Waiting for that tone Dealing with these clients That tend to call on my phone Getting headaches from the obvious Getting laughter from the old Is it worth the aggravation The boss seems to think so Pushing through the day Taking these calls When will it get better Its obvious not at all Time is slowly dragging How I am missing you Can't wait to punch out Can't wait to leave at two Now its time to leave Don't need to ask me twice I'm happy with glee This evening will be nice Seeing you waiting for me Brings a smile on my face You give me a wonderful kiss Saying it is worth the wait Our evening is spent in bliss For nothing seems amiss Yet our time ends soon And puts a damper on the mood Time to get ready for bed Thoughts running through my head You lay beside me and give me that smirk Knowing I'll have to get up and go to work Its the same every day Sometimes I wish we'd go away But there is never the time For I gotta make that dime 3:30am its time to rise 3:30am gotta make that dime.....
