Work Away

[00:17.36] I may be tired but I'm not asleep
[00:20.14] My eyes are open and my heart still beats
[00:23.76] I may be outside, but I'm not out cold
[00:27.31] I got my heart and I still got my soul
[00:30.16] It's time to get my feet back on the ground
[00:32.88] It's my last night home, tomorrow, I'm gone
[00:36.76] I work away, I work away
[00:41.35] Tomorrow, I'm gone
[00:43.13] I work away, I work away
[00:46.24] It's my last night at home, tomorrow, I'm gone
[00:49.80] I gotta wake up before the sun's up
[00:51.68] I gotta catch a flight in the early morn
[00:53.44] My bags are packed and my favorite hat
[00:54.39] I work away to make it work at home
[00:56.13] I'm gone again, gone again
[00:57.98] Give the kids kisses, I'm off again
[00:59.81] They don't wanna see me have to leave
[01:01.66] But I'll be back soon, I promise them
[01:02.55] I work away cause there ain't enough work where I come from
[01:06.16] But honestly, I love where I come from
[01:07.93] So I'm back home under one month
[01:09.75] From the West coast to the East coast
[01:11.53] To my family and my people
[01:12.42] Don't miss a beat when my heart skips
[01:14.24] I gotta work hard through these hardships
[01:16.01] I put my head down and go for it
[01:17.90] Put in overtime with no bonuses
[01:19.71] And my girl's birthday is next week
[01:20.62] I'm just hoping that I'll be home for it
[01:22.43] So leave the lights on, keep the bed warm
[01:24.79] I'll be there in just a minute
[01:26.58] I'll see you soon as I can, but I got business that I gotta finish
[01:29.47] I work away
[01:30.35] I may be tired but I'm not asleep
[01:33.10] My eyes are open and my heart still beats
[01:35.83] I may be outside, but I'm not out cold
[01:39.44] I got my heart and I still got my soul
[01:42.16] It's time to get my feet back on the ground
[01:45.89] It's my last night home, tomorrow, I'm gone
[01:48.58] I work away, I work away
[01:53.90] Tomorrow, I'm gone
[01:55.79] I work away, I work away
[01:59.46] It's my last night at home, tomorrow, I'm gone
[02:02.14] I know I'm gonna miss this when I'm gone
[02:03.99] But I'm optimistic and stay strong
[02:05.79] I write this song for anybody who gotta work long distance and beyond
[02:08.43] Anybody working 3 weeks on to get a week off, then put your feet up
[02:12.00] Then you gotta try to give the weed up
[02:12.97] Cause it might be your week to fill the pee cup (aww)
[02:15.69] I'm feeling for ya, but you work it out
[02:19.37] There ain't much work in this town
[02:20.30] But we put our head down and search it out
[02:22.04] We drive away, fly away
[02:23.80] And I don't wanna say goodbye today
[02:24.71] I love my home, but I gotta go
[02:26.59] And I know it's just a small price to pay
[02:28.41] Cause if you don't work, then it won't work
[02:30.22] Tonight, let's have a little toast for
[02:32.00] The people leaving in the morning
[02:32.94] We can't wait 'til you come back home, work
[02:35.65] I got pictures on my cellphone, I got memories on my mind
[02:38.30] They'll be back, just a matter of time
[02:40.12] Then we'll do this again, but it's back to the grind
[02:42.02] We work
[02:42.15] I may be tired but I'm not asleep
[02:44.82] My eyes are open and my heart still beats
[02:48.56] I may be outside, but I'm not out cold
[02:52.10] I got my heart and I still got my soul
[02:54.89] It's time to get my feet back on the ground
[02:57.55] It's my last night at home, tomorrow, I'm gone
[03:01.28] I work away, I work away
[03:03.09] Tomorrow, I'm gone
[03:04.85] I work away, I work away
[03:06.64] Tomorrow, I'm gone
[03:07.54] I work away, I work away
[03:11.44] It's my last night at home, tomorrow, I'm gone
[03:27.74] I may be outside, but I'm not out cold
[03:31.38] I got my heart and I still got my soul
[03:34.04] It's time to get my feet back on the ground
[03:36.81] It's my last night home, tomorrow, I'm gone
[03:40.77]
