work-life balance Lyrics

I think my granddaddy's looking down at me

Saying

Kiddo, is that all you got

I must be too sensitive, 'cause

The world's got me crying too often

And no one wants to hear me go boo hoo

But my mom can't come to this job

And I need this job to go on

On

9 to 5, you'll find me waiting

Waiting to start my life

5 to 9 on most nights

Watch it pass me by

9 to 5, you got me saying

Can't wait to own my time

5 to 9 on most nights

I'll lie in bed holding tight

Shh, hey, mm

I wonder

If I chose the right path

If I leave now, am I leaving the cash

If I quit now, am I quitting the past

Don't tell me now, no, I'm moving too fast

But this can't be it

This can't be right

This can't be all there is to life

I asked my dad

I read the book

There are no answers

Undefined

Trying to find

Trying to find, yeah

How do I know if I never try

But I'm scared it won't fly

Oh, I'm paralyzed

Might do this till the day I die

What do I do, what do I do that makes me feel alive

9 to 5, you'll find me waiting

Waiting to start my life

5 to 9 on most nights

Watch it pass me by

(Pass me by)

9 to 5, you got me saying

Can't wait to own my time

(Own it, yeah)

5 to 9 on most nights

I'll lie in bed holding tight

(Tight)

9 to 5, you'll find me waiting

Waiting to start my life

(My life, my way)

5 to 9 on most nights

Watch it pass me by

(Goodbye today and tomorrow)

9 to 5, you got me saying

Can't wait to own my time

5 to 9 on most nights

I lie in bed holding tight
