Never thought you’d be the kinda guy to get a day job 9 to 5 you’re gonna take off You’re gonna go against the grain
Never thought you’d be the kinda guy to take a safe route By and by you’re gonna break out The world’s gonna know your name
So why ya sittin’ around? Didya think it’d be easy? I’ll tell you if it was easy Then everybody’d do it too
You say you haven’t got the kinda time to take a beach day ‘Cause you’re too busy every weekday To ever get up off your chair
You say you haven’t got the kinda time to get a girlfriend ‘Cause you’re too busy every weekend You haven’t got a second to spare
So why ya sittin’ around? Didya think it’d be easy? I’ll tell you if it was easy Then everybody’d do it too
You say you’re gonna leave the hard knock life behind You’re gonna hitch your little wagon up to a star You say you’re gonna take the road less traveled by You don’t seem to be traveling very far
Never thought you’d be the kinda guy to get a day job 9 to 5 you’re gonna take off You’re going to go against the grain
So why ya sittin’ around? Didya think it’d be easy? I’ll tell you if it was easy Then everybody’d do it too
You say you’re chasing a dream? Well, you’d better get moving Every second you waste, the world you’re trying to chase Gets away from you
