[steal guitar intro] (Verse 1) Woke up at dawn, sunlight creepin' in, Coffee brews strong, fightin' for a win. Got my boots on tight, hit the pavement hard, Wearin’ my soul like a weathered old guard. (Verse 2) Drive through the town, past the diner’s glow, Smell of bacon fryin’, memories in tow. I see old Mr. Green, sweatin’ in the field, Pourin’ out his heart, but never gets healed. (Chorus) Just a paycheck and a dream, Dyin’ each day at the seam. Life’s a hard road, but we ride, With the bitter truth we can’t hide. But oh, we keep pushin’ through, With our dreams and this broken view. (Verse 3) A long day’s work under that harsh summer sun, Skin’s burnin’ red, but I’ve never been one To back down or break, I stand tall and proud, But inside I’m a whisper, lost in the crowd. (Verse 4) Nights I sit and stare at the walls of my home, Thinkin’ ’bout the love that I can’t seem to own. That old guitar plays my heart’s heavy tune, As I chase shadows under a cold silver moon. (Chorus) Just a paycheck and a dream, Dyin’ each day at the seam. Life’s a hard road, but we ride, With the bitter truth we can’t hide. But oh, we keep pushin’ through, With our dreams and this broken view. (Bridge) And sometimes I wonder if it’s all worth the pain, When the dust settles down, will we dance in the rain? But in the hard life, there’s beauty to find, In the scars and the struggles, we leave love behind. (Chorus) Just a paycheck and a dream, Dyin’ each day at the seam. Life’s a hard road, but we ride, With the bitter truth we can’t hide. But oh, we keep pushin’ through, With our dreams and this broken view. (Outro) So here’s to the nights when we laugh and we cry, To the fights that we face as the years go by. Just a paycheck and a dream in our hands, In this hard life, together we stand.
