Something Better - The Dirt Drifters

The sun is comin' up

I gotta drag my butt out of bed

My phone is ringin', boss is screamin'

«Where the hell you at?»

I grab a cup of coffee

Tell him it won’t be too long

But he don’t know I’m waitin'

On something better to come along

There’s gotta be something better than nine to five

Every day barely gettin' by

Workin', slavin', always achin'

Way too young for my back to be breakin'

Waitin' on that rainbow

Tell me where’s that pot of gold?

Everyone is laughin' from a distance

When they see me clockin' in

Well, they’ll all be here in twenty years

Cussin' 'bout the same old things

They stay late like a slave

And wake up at the break of dawn

They don’t know I’m waitin'

For something better to come along

There’s gotta be something better than nine to five

Every day barely gettin' by

Workin', slavin', always achin'

Way too young for my back to be breakin'

Waitin' on that rainbow

Tell me where’s that pot of gold?

There’s gotta be something better than nine to five

Every day barely gettin' by

Workin', slavin', always achin'

Way too young for my back to be breakin'

Waitin' on that rainbow

Tell me where’s that pot of gold?

Well, I take her out on Friday

'Cause my baby likes to paint the town

The way she treats her man

Makes me think about settlin' down

(Aw, son)

I told her that I love her, she said let’s just hold on

Man, I think she’s waitin' on

Something better to come along

Yeah, hear she comes

Ah, let’s go
