         A 
         Work, work, work day after day 
 
         Fifty hour week, forty hour pay 
         D7                              A 
         No time to get over on this overtime 
                 E                   D7               A 
         Yea I'm always runnin', I'm always runnin' behind 
 
         A 
         I got a Friday night date with my sweetheart 
 
         I'm already late and the car won't start 
         D7                                        A 
         Lord, I feel like hittin' that car and cryin' 
                  E                   D7               A 
         Yea, I'm always runnin', I'm always runnin' behind 
 
         Bridge 
         D7 
         All my life its been this way 
         A 
         One dollar short and one day late 
         B                                          E 
         One rung lower on the ladder I'm tryin' to climb 
              A 
         If I ever get lucky, if I ever get rich 
 
         Gonna tow my life up out of this ditch 
         D7                              A 
         Watch the world go by while I unwind 
                 E                       D7               A 
         Yea I'm always runnin', but I'm always runnin' behind
