This Kind of Living

Well, I spend my life on 25, as dictated by the man I never grew up dreaming of being a company man But here I sit stuck with a mortgage, three children and a five-piece band This kind of living ain't no way to make a living the way that I am Well, I wake up every morning, it takes a pot of coffee to get me out of bed I head on down to the workplace, thinking I'd be better off dead But just about every other Friday, I get the paycheck they hang over my head This kind of living ain't no way to make a living the way that I am Naw, this kind of living ain't no way to make a living no how, anyhow Like my papa told me son, "You gotta do what you love," I wish that he could see me now 'Cause here I sit stuck with a mortgage, three children and a five-piece band This kind of living ain't no way to make a living the way that I am Now the boss, he wants more meetings, and the wife, she wants new shoes My kids just want some attention, me, I want a little good news I spend all day pushing papers, and try to make it home before bed This kind of living ain't no way to make a living the way that I am Naw, this kind of living ain't no way to make a living no how, anyhow Like my papa told me son, "You gotta do what you love," I wish that he could see me now 'Cause here I sit stuck with a mortgage, three children and a five-piece band This kind of living ain't no way to make a living the way that I am Naw, this kind of living ain't no way to make a living the way that I am
