Good morning Just one more cup of coffee Take the highway I'm gonna make it to the line And put my time in Like my old man before me Died in dreamland With the union by his side But not tonight Tonight I'm gonna try a little harder But come the light I'm gonna be working But not tonight Tonight I'm gonna try a little harder But come the light I'm gonna be Working again ... Talk to me Just don't talk at me Don't look through me Don't push me to the wall Cause right now, right now There ain't a lot left to lose And from where I sit It just ain't that far a fall But not tonight Tonight I'm gonna try a little harder But come the light I'm gonna be working But not tonight Tonight I'm gonna try a little harder But come the light I'm gonna be Working again ... Out on the street tonight There ain't nothing to look up to but the sky It's so close a reach tonight All the sellers, all the buyers All the lovers, all the liars And baby You keep telling me what you're needing If only I just had a little more to give But I'm tapped out, tapped out Broke down and busted And this ain't no It just ain't no way to live But not tonight Tonight I'm gonna try a little harder But come the light I'm gonna be working But not tonight Tonight I'm gonna try a little harder But come the light I'm gonna be Working again ... I'm gonna be working again... I'm gonna be working again... Working again... Gotta be working to fade
