Runnin’ Behind lyrics

[Verse 1]
Work work work, day after day
Fifty hour week, forty hour pay
No time to get over, all this overtime
Yeah, I'm always runnin', but I'm always runnin' behind

[Verse 2]
I got a Friday night date, with my sweetheart
I'm already late and the car won't start
Lord I feel like hittin' that car and cryin'
Yeah, I'm always runnin', but I'm always runnin' behind

[Bridge]
All my life it's been this way
One dollar short and one day late
One rung lower on the ladder I'm tryin' to climb

[Verse 3]
If I ever get lucky, if I ever get rich
Gonna tow my life up out of this ditch
Watch the world go by while I unwind
Yeah, I'm always runnin', but I'm always runnin' behind

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
All my life it's been this way
One dollar short and one day late
One rung lower on the ladder I'm tryin' to climb
[Verse 4]
If I ever get lucky, if I ever get rich
Gonna tow my life up out of this ditch
Watch the world go by while I unwind
Yeah, I'm always runnin', but I'm always runnin' behind

[Outro]
Lord, I'm always runnin', but I'm always runnin' behind
Oh, Lord
