Lyrics
Verse 1:
I'm waking up at dawn, another day begins,
Staring at the mirror, counting all my sins,
I put on my tie, my uniform of chains,
Head out to the grind, in the pouring rain.
Pre-Chorus:
I'm drowning in debt, can't seem to get ahead,
My back is aching bad, feel like I'm half dead,
I'm running on fumes, but I can't give in,
Gotta keep on moving, keep that devil grin.
Chorus:
I'm working 9 to 5 just to stay alive,
Bills are piling up, I'm barely getting by,
Always tired, always stressed, but I'll survive,
'Cause I love my wife, she's my reason why.
Verse 2:
Clocking out at five, the day is finally done,
But there's no rest for me, another race to run,
I see her waiting there, with that tired smile,
She keeps me going strong, through every mile.
Pre-Chorus:
We're fighting through the mess, the chaos and the strife,
But together we stand, in this crazy life,
She's my rock, my shield, my guiding light,
In this world of darkness, she's my shining bright.
Chorus:
I'm working 9 to 5 just to stay alive,
Bills are piling up, I'm barely getting by,
Always tired, always stressed, but I'll survive,
'Cause I love my wife, she's my reason why.
Bridge:
We dream of better days, when we can breathe again,
No more debt, no more pain, just us till the end,
But until then we'll fight, side by side we'll stand,
In this pop-punk life, we'll make our final stand.
Chorus:
I'm working 9 to 5 just to stay alive,
Bills are piling up, I'm barely getting by,
Always tired, always stressed, but I'll survive,
'Cause I love my wife, she's my reason why.
Outro:
Yeah, I love my wife, she's my reason why,
Through the darkest nights, we'll reach for the sky,
In this pop-punk song, our hearts won't lie,
Forever and always, till the day we die.
