[ t.j. berry ]
With a promise and a prayerAnd a sparkle in his eyeHe goes to work everydayBut hes barely getting byAnd at the end of the weekWithout a dollar to his nameHe gets ready for the nextTo get up and do the same
[ chorus ]Day in day outSame old song and danceSame shit different dayAnd his wife wears the pantsDisgruntledWith a picture of his kidsAnd a gun held to his headHe thanks god for a lifeThat is soon to become deadAnd at the end of the noteIt says you know my time has comeI dont want this anymoreAnd I feel my life is doneLife is done
With a promise and a prayerAnd sparkle in her eyeShe goes to work everydayBut shes barely getting byAnd at the end of the week Without a dollar to her nameShe gets ready for the nextTo get up and do the sameDo the sameDisgruntled
