E-D7-A
         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
