Lyrics
Black jacket, wrinkled pants
Got your briefcase in hand
Wearing a wired face
You're the type that works so hard
And drives too far
Gotta catch your breath
You keep on going and going and going
It helps to slow down
Where are you going?
Did you ever think to stop?
And see what you're passing by
Or leaving behind
Cause you keep rushin'
Rushin', rushin'
RUSHIN' TO NOWHERE
Your pacin' down the hall
Inpatient for a call
But it never comes
Racin' up the stairs
When no one else is there
Hurry you'll miss a meeting
Time's moving on without you
Chorus
One grey night
You're drivin' back home
All alone thinkin' about tomorrow
And all the work you gotta do
Never even pause, there's not a minute-to-loose
Where are you going?
Did you ever think to stop?
And see what you're passing by (goodbye)
Or leaving behind
Cause you keep rushin'
rushin' rushin'
RUSHIN' TO NOWHERE
Up early the next morning
To start all over
