[Verse 1]
Never thought you'd be the kinda guy to get a day job
9 to 5 you're gonna take off
You're gonna go against the grain

Never thought you'd be the kinda guy to take a safe route
By and by you're gonna break out
The world's gonna know your name

[Chorus]
So why ya sittin' around?
Didya think it'd be easy?
I'll tell you if it was easy
Then everybody'd do it too

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
You say you haven't got the kinda time to take a beach day
'Cause you're too busy every weekday
To ever get up off your chair

You say you haven't got the kinda time to get a girlfriend
'Cause you're too busy every weekend
You haven't got a second to spare
[Chorus]
So why ya sittin' around?
Didya think it'd be easy?
I'll tell you if it was easy
Then everybody'd do it too

[Bridge]
You say you're gonna leave the hard knock life behind
You're gonna hitch your little wagon up to a star
You say you're gonna take the road less traveled by
You don't seem to be traveling very far

[Verse 1]
Never thought you'd be the kinda guy to get a day job
9 to 5 you're gonna take off
You're going to go against the grain

[Chorus]
So why ya sittin' around?
Didya think it'd be easy?
I'll tell you if it was easy
Then everybody'd do it too

You say you're chasing a dream?
Well, you'd better get moving
Every second you waste, the world you're trying to chase
Gets away from you
