VERSE
Well, I stumble out of bed
And I fumble with my routine
A cup of coffee, comb my hair
Button up my bluejeans
Look at the time
Oh Lord, I'm runnin'behind

VERSE
So I climb into my car
And I crank it to the freeway
Here ev'ryone is just like me
Fightin' for the fast lane
I'm out of my mind
And runnin' ten steps behind

VERSE
Oh now, well Owen told me if I'm late
That I can find a new job
There's someone else who just can't wait
Who wants to fill up my spot
Sweet misery
I hate that factory

CHORUS
Who said) Who said (That I) That I
Have to live my life this way
(Who said) Who said (That I) That I
Can't find a better way

VERSE
Well now, the sun is climbin' up the sky
I pull it off the freeway
I put it in the parkin' lot
And punch the clock in my name
Owen was right
I'just a wastin' my time

VERSE
Now I'm stampin' out a metal plate
That fits into another one
The man ahead can't operate
Until he gets what I've done
I'm out of my mind
And runnin' ten steps behind

BREAK (verse), CHORUS

VERSE
Well now, I stumble out of work
And I fumble with my car keys
Owen tells me if I'm late
Tomorrow I can work for free
Now look at the time
Oh Lord, I'm runnin' behind

VERSE
And so I climb into my car
And I crank it to the freeway
Where ev'ryone is just like me
Fightin' for the fast lane
I'm out of my mind
And runnin' ten steps behind

:CHORUS:
