Early in the mornin Im layin on my bed
Stickin to the rhythm of the music in my head
Rockin in the mirror...rollin out the door
Hop into the car and put the pedal to the floor
Callin out your number--ill take you for a ride
Find something to keep me satisfied
Runnin for the money...layin out the green
Its a tax accountants nightmare--its a rock n roll dream
The income may be different but the outcomes still the same
Youll never be a winner boy until you play the game
Hounded to distraction...racin to and fro
Losin my direction keepin up my status quo
Now I tried - tried - tried - tried
It just dont seem to keep me satisfied
A hundred-thousand miles in a 747
Take it all in style if you wanna get to heaven
Chasin all the action every single night
Never understand it but you try to do it right
Ragged round the edges...none the worse for wear
Cuttin all the corners but they never get me there
Now I try - try - try - try
It just dont seem to keep me satisfied
