All day long I break my back

To keep this company in the black

There's gotta be an end to all this labor

When I hear that whistle blow

I can't wait to see your smiling face and

Lose myself in your embrace

But lately every day when I walk in

Oh it feels like work again



So maybe we should find ourselves a mountain top

A little place to stop for awhile

Get above the things that made us feel this way

Hey, a day or two and we'll come back in style

Just a little time together

Oh, it's bound to make things better

Till the weight of this old world starts closing in

And it feels like work again



Now life, it ain't no fairy tale

And I guess we know all too well

How sometimes it can get a little crazy

Yeah, that's the way it is

So we just keep on going

But there's peace of mind in knowing

We can run off somewhere every now and then

When it feels like work again



So baby we should find ourselves a mountain top

A little place to stop for awhile

Get above the things that made us feel this way

Hey, a day or two and we'll come back in style

Just a little time together

Oh, it's bound to make things better

Till the weight of this old world starts closing in

And it feels like work again



Yeah, we just keep on going

'Cause there's peace of mind in knowing

We can run off somewhere every now and then

When it feels like work again

Yeah when it feels like work again
