Overtime
Let's go!
I heard a voice
And my world came apart
How could a sound so innocent
Strike such fear to the heart
Am I in chains
Am I set free
Is a fight with the secondhand
All that's left for me
I hope you understand
That I'm doing all I can
And I go to extremes
Just to provide you a change in scene
For you I'm working overtime
I'm driving my run-down car
Like a limousine straight through the night
And I'm burning out, but I'm alright
I'm here in the home of the brave
till the end of my days
For you babe
I'm working overtime
Deep into the night
But I'm coming home soon
Baby I can turn out the lights
So don't wait up
Like you always do
Because God knows I'm a sinner
Acting like I'm a winner for you
I hope you understand
That I'd do that it all again
We've been lost in a dream
With each day the same
So it seems
For you I'm working overtime
I'm driving my run-down car
Like a limousine straight through the night
And I'm burning out, but I'm alright
I'm here in the home of the brave
till the end of my days
For you babe
I'm working overtime
And I'm late again
Burning down both ends
And I can't see the end
While I break, you bend
And it's all that I know
I just pray that it shows
It's for you that I can't let it go
(Yeah)
For you I'm working overtime
I'm driving my run-down car
Like a limousine straight through the night
And I'm burning out, but I'm alright
I'm here in the home of the brave
till the end of my days
For you babe
I'm working overtime
For you babe
I'm working overtime
(Woah)
For you babe
I'm working overtime
(Yeah)
For you babe
I'm working overtime
I heard a voice
And my world came apart
How could a sound so innocent
Strike such fear to the heart
Am I in chains
Am I set free
Is a fight with the secondhand
All that's left for me
I hope you understand
That I'm doing all I can
And I go to extremes
Just to provide you a change in scene
For you I'm working overtime
I'm driving my run-down car
Like a limousine straight through the night
And I'm burning out, but I'm alright
I'm here in the home of the brave
till the end of my days
For you babe
I'm working overtime
Deep into the night
But I'm coming home soon
Baby I can turn out the lights
So don't wait up
Like you always do
Because God knows I'm a sinner
Acting like I'm a winner for you

We've been lost in a dream

For you babe
I'm working overtime
(Woah)
For you babe
I'm working overtime
(Yeah)
For you babe
I'm working overtime
