I'm still stuck here in bed
It's ten in the morning, gotta get this pain outta my head
I stood up too late, with too many regrets
Too many late nights, and too many promises
Every man gets a day the same
Some spend it good while others waste it away
As for me and my girl we're chasing for that train
Gotta beat the clouds and get out of the rain
Why are some days so short and others so long?
If you don't watch close, the now will be gone
I tell myself I'm gonna do that nine to five
But the first couple hours they go so slowly by
Every man gets a day the same
Some spend it good while others waste it away
As for me and my girl we're chasing for that train
Gotta beat the clouds and get out of the rain
Sleepin on a bed of stones
But we're off to build our home
Those long shadows enter through my window
I ask out loud, "where does all the time go?"
She looks at me and says "Darling, it will be fine
You've just got to remind yourself one more time
That every man gets a day the same
Some spend it good and others waste it away
As for you and me we're chasin for that train
Gotta beat the clouds, and get out of the rain."
