Runnin' Behind

Work, work, work, day after day

Fifty-hour week, forty-hour pay

No time to get over all this overtime

Yeah, I'm always a-runnin'

But, I'm always runnin' behind

Got a Friday night date with my sweetheart

Already late and the car won't start

Lord, I feel like kickin' that car and cryin'

Yeah, I'm always a-runnin'

But, I'm always runnin' behind

All my life, it's been this way

One dollar short and one day late

One rung lower on the ladder I'm tryin' to climb

If I ever get lucky, if I ever get rich

Gonna tow my life up out of this ditch

Watch the world go by while I unwind

Yeah, I'm always a-runnin'

But, I'm always runnin' behind

All my life, it's been this way

One dollar short and one day late

One rung lower on the ladder I'm tryin' to climb

If I ever get lucky, if I ever get rich

Gonna tow my life up out of this ditch

Watch the world go by while I unwind

Yeah, I'm always a-runnin'

I'm always runnin' behind

Lord, I'm always a-runnin'

But, I'm always runnin' behind

Oh, Lord
