Amy Rigby - Middlescence

Raising the Bar

i'm running a little faster
one step from a disaster
i'm trying, they're all watching me sweat
i'm living on no money
i'm laughing, it's not funny
i'm wondering what am i gonna get

they keep raising the bar
they keep making it harder
i'm stuck in the tar
they keep raising the bar
raising the bar

i'm boozing, i'm psychotic
i'm losing, i'm no hot chick
i'm hoping i'll wake up and not care
i'm lying to myself here
i'm crying in my wheat beer
i'm dreaming i can make it somewhere

they keep raising the bar
they keep making it harder
there's no gas in the car
they keep raising the bar
raising the bar

they keep raising the bar...

help me someone, help me someone
feel like no one, feel like no one

i'm working a lot harder
i'm learning, i'm more smarter
i'm cursing, they keep changing the rules
i'm crashing through the wrong door
i'm asking what's it all for
i'm straining like the rest of the mules

they keep raising the bar
they keep making it harder
i'm shot like the czar
they keep raising the bar
raising the bar
