He made up his mind
And he started working
Left before the sun came up that day
An exit from perpetual summer lurking
But where was he working
At more than one job every day?
Insurance came due
And he couldn't pay it
And now had even bigger bills to pay
He's paying off the debts that he's been shirking
But where is he working
At more than one job each day?
He cancelled his cell plan
No time left for talking
Left for work before sunrise each day
And when his Ford broke down he started walking
But where was he going
To more than one job every day?
Anyone can see
His road up ahead is covered with snow
It's never summer
It's always cold
He spent all his future
He's paying the debt today
You can see his shadow welding a pipe somewhere
He won't be home for dinner
But there's no one to care
He's sleeping in the bed
He made for himself today
And he started working
Left before the sun came up that day
An exit from perpetual summer lurking
But where was he working
At more than one job every day?
Insurance came due
And he couldn't pay it
And now had even bigger bills to pay
He's paying off the debts that he's been shirking
But where is he working
At more than one job each day?
He cancelled his cell plan
No time left for talking
Left for work before sunrise each day
And when his Ford broke down he started walking
But where was he going
To more than one job every day?
Anyone can see
His road up ahead is covered with snow
It's never summer
It's always cold
He spent all his future
He's paying the debt today
You can see his shadow welding a pipe somewhere
He won't be home for dinner
But there's no one to care
He's sleeping in the bed
He made for himself today
