Drumming Bird "Second Best"

Lyrics

Don’t harass me if I’m here on time
Another day on the assembly line
Makin’ pennies while you’re makin’ dimes
Lord I pray for something new

Work is steady but the shifts are long
Leave at dusk, comin’ in at dawn
At least they let me turn the radio on
Can you play me somethin’ good?

CHORUS
I’m tired of second best
Good God I need some rest
Gonna work myself to death this life
My body’s killin’ me
Good God I need some sleep
Gonna work just like a dog all night
But all I want for you is a better life

Play my music for a buck on the side
Makin’ nothin’ but you know that I tried
Go to sleep eatin’ nothin’ but pride
Lord I pray for somethin’ new
