Lyrics

Never thought you'd be the kinda guy to get a day job
Nine-to-five, you're gonna take off
You're gonna go against the grain

Never thought you 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
Oh, you say you're gonna take the road less traveled by
No, you don't seem to be traveling very far

Never thought you'd be the kinda guy to get a day job
Nine-to-five, you're gonna take off
You're gonna 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
