Clock Out

[Intro] Yeah Five more hours till I'm free Then I'll do it all again next week Phone face down on the desk Group chat going off, I ain't read it yet [Verse 1] Mortgage due on the first, car note on the tenth Doing mental math while I'm sitting in this meeting again They ask me "how you been?" I say "you know, same old" Translation: I'm drowning but I keep my voice low Boss wants the report by the end of the day I'm thinking 'bout the bar where my boys probably stay Used to be there every Friday, no agenda, no plan Now I'm lucky if I make it once a month, that's the man I am [Pre-Chorus] I don't wanna sound ungrateful I got a roof and a job, that's more than some But some nights I just sit here and wonder When did being young turn into being done [Chorus] Clock out, go home, do it all again Smile for the weekend like it's gonna change Clock out, go home, tell myself I'm fine Maybe next month I'll have a little more time [Verse 2] Remember after graduation we had nothing but dreams Cheap beer, big talk, nothing was out of reach We said we'd travel, we said we'd own a house Now we're texting "you up?" just to figure shit out I miss the way we laughed like the world was ours Now we laugh 'cause we're too tired to be anything else I know it ain't that bad, I know I'm doing alright But some nights I just miss when I didn't check the price [Pre-Chorus] I don't wanna sound ungrateful I got a roof and a job, that's more than some But some nights I just sit here and wonder When did being young turn into being done [Chorus] Clock out, go home, do it all again Smile for the weekend like it's gonna change Clock out, go home, tell myself I'm fine Maybe next month I'll have a little more time [Bridge] Maybe I'm just tired, maybe it's the grind Maybe I'm just scared of falling behind I know I'll be alright, I know I'll make it through I just needed one night, just one night with the crew [Verse 3] I know I sound like I'm complaining, I know I got it good Food on the table, roof overhead like I should But some nights I sit and think about the kid I used to be The one who thought that growing up meant finally being free Guess that's just the joke of it, nobody tells you that You spend your whole life working for a life you never had So I'll show up, clock in, do my time, go home Dream about the weekend, then repeat it all alone [Pre-Chorus] I don't wanna sound ungrateful I got a roof and a job, that's more than some But some nights I just sit here and wonder When did being young turn into being done [Chorus] Clock out, go home, do it all again Smile for the weekend like it's gonna change Clock out, go home, tell myself I'm fine Maybe next month I'll have a little more time [Outro] Clock out Go home Do it all again Yeah Maybe next month
