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.....
