John Sebastian - Tar Beach

Try'na Keep the Balls In the Air

Now you got the drive
That can take you to the top
I just hope it didn't drive you
Till you're too pooped to pop
All this keepin' everybody happy
can be hard to bear
When you're tryin' to keep the balls in the air
Tryin' to keep the balls in the air

Now you got a job
That can put you to the test
You got too many bosses screamin'
"Have it on my desk!"
You got to be so many different places
That you ain't nowhere
When you're tryin' to keep the balls in the air
Tryin' to keep the balls in the air

When you're tryin' to keep the balls in the air
Honey, you got too many dreams to jugggle
When you're tryin' to keep the balls in the air
Honey, I just kinda hate to bust your bubble
Cause there's a whole lot of unhappy millionaires
They're just tryin' to keep the balls in the air
Tryin' to keep the balls in the air
