about

This song is about a guy, who needs to feed his family, but barely makes enough money for a living.

lyrics

Each day is a struggle now
since my lady gave birth to my baby
I am trying to get the cash
to serve them a meal today
but my feet won't go on for long

I ain't get no sleep at night
the night-shifts make me go crazy
I am tryin to be a dad
and a good husband for my lady
but my feet won't go on for long
no my feet won't go on for long

I am under pressure! I want something better!
My mood is like an equivalent to this dusty weather!
My family needs me, but I need the job to feed them!
And this job is holding me down, I am no longer breathin
freely! And the beer in the evining is not helpin me!
When I go on like that I end up in a therapy!

I need to calm down!
To hold my lady in my arms now again!
My friend,
I need some help now!
Land me a hand!
I need to calm down!
To hold my lady in my arms now again!
My friend!
I need some help now
before I end!
