Said I been working
All week long
Like a man on the chain gang
I can't break these rocks no more
My back is aching, and my hands are sore
And my check looks short again
Stuck in traffic, as the sun goes down
I need some music just to keep my head
Been working now, from nine to five
Making that money just to stay alive
Punched the clock, made my escape
And I'm free again
Cause as I close, my eyes
Yeah, I start to realize
That all I need, is the groove
All I did, was press play
And the tension falls away
Yes, all I need, is the groove
Gonna put my feet up
And let my body sync in time
And drift away, so far away
Hypnotized by a funky bass line
It's my addiction, yeah, it's my release
And no, nothing else will do
It's what I need on a Friday night
To help my mind escape these blues
Suddenly, life's not so bad
I got my music on, and a beer in my hand
I'm feeling like a brand new man
And I can breathe again
That's all I need, cause I been working, working so hard
Gotta find a way to make a permanent change
Cause working for the man is a losing game
Never thought I'd be stuck in this day to day
But I'm free again, for now
Cause as I close, my eyes
Yeah, I start to realize
That all I need, is the groove
All I did, was press play
And the tension falls away
Yes, all I need, is the groove
