The Way It Works I woke up this morning and I drove to work And I cursed this life for the way it works Spending all my time working this old job Just to get back to what I love And I made a couple dollars and I paid the bills But it always gets me thinking about the way it feels To see you growing small in my rear view And it doesn't make sense at all Look at your life is it a life to live Or is it work, sleep, and fighting with the kids Sometimes it makes me think that we should grab the boys Leave it all and just skip town If it's the house that holds you back Well then I'll burn it down If it's the dog then I'll drop her outside of town If its the car then tonight I gonna roll it off a cliff If there's a time for peace and a time for war Then there's a time for me to walk out the door Stick my finger out the window as I drive away Straight home to your pretty face Pack up the boys and we'll hit the road We could be to the beach in a day or so When you think about it, it doesn't make much sense But it makes a lot of sense to me I guess that what I'm saying is it's such a crime We spend our lives trying to make a dime In the end we just want more time with the ones we love But we never seem to question we just walk the line In the end maybe it's just a waste of time I don't want to spend my life building walls on sinking sand
