Something Better

The sun is comin' up
I gotta drag my butt out of bed
My phone is ringin', boss is screamin'
"Where the hell you at?"

I grab a cup of coffee
Tell him it won't be too long
But he don't know I'm waitin'
On something better to come along

There's gotta be something better than nine to five
Every day barely gettin' by
Workin', slavin', always achin'
Way too young for my back to be breakin'
Waitin' on that rainbow
Tell me where's that pot of gold?

Everyone is laughin' from a distance
When they see me clockin' in
Well, they'll all be here in twenty years
Cussin' 'bout the same old things

They stay late like a slave
And wake up at the break of dawn
They don't know I'm waitin'
For something better to come along

There's gotta be something better than nine to five
Every day barely gettin' by
Workin', slavin', always achin'
Way too young for my back to be breakin'
Waitin' on that rainbow
Tell me where's that pot of gold?

There's gotta be something better than nine to five
Every day barely gettin' by
Workin', slavin', always achin'
Way too young for my back to be breakin'
Waitin' on that rainbow
Tell me where's that pot of gold?

Well, I take her out on Friday
'Cause my baby likes to paint the town
The way she treats her man
Makes me think about settlin' down
(Aw, son)

I told her that I love her, she said let's just hold on
Man, I think she's waitin' on
Something better to come along
Yeah, hear she comes
Ah, let's go
