Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sleeping on a planter at the Port Authority
Waiting for my bus to come
Seven scotch-and-sodas at the office party
Now I don't remember where I'm from
[Verse 2]
I think I had a black wallet in my back pocket
With a bus ticket
And a picture of my baby inside
And if I make it home alive
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna get my shit together
'Cause I can't live like this forever
You know I've come too far and I don't wanna fail
I got a new computer and a bright future in sales, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
A bright future in sales, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
Heading for the airport on a misty morning
Gonna catch a flight to Baltimore
Try to kill an hour with a whiskey sour
If there's time, I might have just one more
[Verse 5]
I gotta do some quick reading for the big meeting
But my head is spinning
And I can't quite open my eyes
As long as I don't have to drive
[Verse 6]
I'm gonna get my shit together
'Cause I can't live like this forever
You know I've come too far and I don't wanna fail
I got a new computer and a bright future in sales, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
A bright future in sales, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
A bright future in sales, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
A bright future in sales, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 7]
I had a line on a brand new account
But now, I can't seem to find where I wrote that number down
I try to focus, I'm staring at the screen
Pretending like I know what all these little flashing lights mean
[Verse 8]
Oh, yeah
[Verse 9]
I gotta do some quick reading for the big meeting
But my head is spinning
And I can't quite open my eyes
[Verse 10]
I gotta get my shit together
'Cause I can't live like this forever
You know I've come too far and I don't wanna fail
I got a new computer and a bright future in sales, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
A bright future in sales, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
A bright future in sales, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
A bright future in sales, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah
