Everyday American

At work for 12 hrs a day, gives lots of time to think about past present and future.

My back hurts, but oh well
Gotta feed the kids, pay the bills- oh hell
Just a few more years
'Til I can sleep in, then take a nap
Cover up my eyes with my old baseball cap
Under that big shade tree
I bet ya'll wish you were me

(Chorus)
I've worked my fingers to the bone
All for this place that I call home
Busted my ass eight days a week
Just so I could earn my keep
I'm an everyday American

Another check bounced, were overdrawn
Looked at the book, that money's all gone
Here we go again
Got the mortgage due, by next week
Toss and turn, no way to sleep
So much stress
Everyone thinks that I'm so blessed

(Repeat Chorus)

Living week to week, check to check
401k just dropped 'nother ten percent
But we're hanging on
Never gonna get to sleep in, no nap
Or cover up my eyes with that ball cap
Out under that shade tree
I know all of you are just like me

(Repeat Chorus)
