Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wake up every morning, bright and early
Roll out of bed but I'm never quite alone
Tension is pullin' me in all directions
And all these problems use me as their own
[Verse 2]
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
At any time I could explode
I need some piece of mind, it's got me tired
Don't wanna lose it but I'm turning down that road
[Verse 3]
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
We all need a moment in our lives
Work's hard, the day's too long, and that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time
[Verse 4]
I sit in traffic every single morning
Just as I arrive, I'm slaving to the grind
Makin' the money so I feed my family
But I can't raise them 'cause I ain't got the time
[Verse 5]
I got no free days on my busy schedule
I turn the page and it's the same
Don't like my situation, you don't either
Don't wanna look back scared, I'm workin' like away
[Verse 6]
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
We all need a moment in our lives
Work's hard, the day's too long, and that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time
[Verse 7]
But every now and then
I drive alone an open road
Hot summer days, a gentle breeze that feels alright
Home alone, and I can't feel no pain
[Verse 8]
Only strength enjoy the sights
I feel alive, relaxing here just feels alright
Far from home
[Verse 9]
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
We all need a moment in our lives
Work's hard, the day's too long, and that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time
