Pay Off

from Staycoustic by David Dino White

lyrics

Going day in and day out
You know what it’s all about
So much I’d rather do instead
Hard to do it well when I am exhausted

Yet I keep showing up at that job
Clocking in too early and clocking out whenever I get cut
Wishing I could make money doing something I really love and holding on
To hope that one day this will all payoff

Now I’ve got a stack of bills so high
If it tips I’ll drown and die
And I’ve got mouths I’ve gotta feed
Gotta make sure everyone eats
Though I’m not convinced we would end up on the street

And yet I keep showing up at that job
Clocking in too early and clocking out whenever I get cut
Wishing I could make money doing something I really love and holding on
To hope that one day this will all payoff

Yeah, I keep showing up at that job
Clocking in too early and clocking out whenever I get cut
Wishing I could make money doing something I really love and holding on
Yes, I'm holding on
Just holding on
I'm holding on
