Not Making History
Monday morning calling me
6am comes too early
Waking from my fantasy
Kinda take its toll on me
But at least it pays a piece
Plenty people left in need
Lots of hungry mouths to feed
Oughtta count myself lucky
Friday night another scene
On the stage of broken dreams
Another hotel gig for me
Only here I play for free
Not where I thought I would be
A long way from easy street
Nothin like you wanted for me
Not makin history
Meant to star in every scene
Break through every dream
I'd make every one of them see
Just to make you proud of me
Cause I got something
Bigger than me inside
And I'll die trying, tryin to win this fight
But I just sit here battling with my pride
And I'll be back at work tonight
Look at me to proud to crawl
But like the clock there on the wall
The big hand makes every call
Yeah, time can make a man feel small
Not a winning year after all
I had my chance and I dropped the ball
That kind of pressure makes my engine stall
With every race too close to call
Guess I kept my order too tall
Too high, so far to fall
I thought by now I'd have it all
Looks like I missed last call
Not where I thought I would be
A long way from easy street
Nothin like you wanted for me
Not makin history
Meant to star in every scene
Break through every dream
I'd make every one of them see
Just to make you proud of me
Cause I got something
Bigger than me inside
And I'll die trying, tryin to win this fight
But I just sit here battling with my pride
And I'll be back at work tonight
Monday morning calling me,
6am comes too early,
Waking from my fantasy,
Kinda take its toll on me...
6am comes too early
Waking from my fantasy
Kinda take its toll on me
But at least it pays a piece
Plenty people left in need
Lots of hungry mouths to feed
Oughtta count myself lucky
Friday night another scene
On the stage of broken dreams
Another hotel gig for me
Only here I play for free
Not where I thought I would be
A long way from easy street
Nothin like you wanted for me
Not makin history
Meant to star in every scene
Break through every dream
I'd make every one of them see
Just to make you proud of me
Cause I got something
Bigger than me inside
And I'll die trying, tryin to win this fight
But I just sit here battling with my pride
And I'll be back at work tonight
Look at me to proud to crawl
But like the clock there on the wall
The big hand makes every call
Yeah, time can make a man feel small
Not a winning year after all

That kind of pressure makes my engine stall

But I just sit here battling with my pride
And I'll be back at work tonight
Monday morning calling me,
6am comes too early,
Waking from my fantasy,
Kinda take its toll on me...
