lyrics

There’s no google search for following your dreams
No quick fix or DIY video for building self esteem
Joy happens slowly, it cycles through the months
So the butterflies that you’re feeling now may only happen once

First you’re running from mom
Now you’re there for too long
You gotta get a day job
Gotta get a day job
Waiting at the bus stop
Beers on the rooftop
You gotta get a day job
Gotta get a day job
Not getting a fast car, a cash cow, or bling
By staying up ‘til 3 on Tuesday night and struggling
Won’t always have the same job
It’ll turn into a great job
But you gotta get a day job
Gotta get a day

Fifty years old and you’re sitting quiet at home
Reflecting on your life and wondering why you feel so alone
From all fours let time be yours
And like a bird you’ll wind and soar
You are the only you that there ever will be

Cherish every word they said
And let it put your heart to rest
Just being here we’re going far
You gotta love just who you are
Cherish every word they said
And let it put your heart to rest
Just being here we’re going far
Gotta love who you are

First you’re running from mom
Now you’re there for too long
You gotta get a day job
Gotta get a day job
Waiting at the bus stop
Beers on the rooftop
You gotta get a day job
Gotta get a day job
Not getting a fast car, a cash cow, or bling
By staying up ‘til 3 on Tuesday night and struggling
Won’t always have the same job
It’ll turn into a great job
But you gotta get a day job
Gotta get a day

First you’re running from mom
Now you’re there for too long
You gotta get a day job
Gotta get a day job
Waiting at the bus stop
Beers on the rooftop
You gotta get a day job
Gotta get a day job

First you’re running from mom
Now you’re there for too long
You gotta get a day job
Gotta get a day job
Waiting at the bus stop
Beers on the rooftop
You gotta get a day job
Gotta get a day
