[Instrumental intro] Same old alarm clock, same old time Same old feeling, in this foggy old mind Same old coffee in the same old cup Dreaming of the day, I give it all up But I gotta get going, though it’s getting old I’m just livin’ life on cruise control Couldn’t wait to get out on my own Put my life under my control No more doing what I was told Ready for life to really take hold Got a good job after a couple of years Not a care in the world, nothing to fear I figured this was the way life was supposed to be Then out of the blue…..reality! Same old alarm clock, same old time Same old feeling, in this foggy old mind Same old coffee in the same old cup Dreaming of the day, I give it all up But I gotta get going, though it’s getting old I’m just livin’ life on cruise control Bought a fast car, made me look cool But the upkeep showed I was a fool Found a girl and made her my wife Knew that was the key to a wonderful life The house came next and a couple of kids Bills piled up had to keep the family fed Insurance, taxes, mortgage and such Life got real, came on in a rush Same old alarm clock, same old time Same old feeling, in this foggy old mind Same old coffee in the same old cup Dreaming of the day, I give it all up But I gotta get going, though it’s getting old I’m just livin’ life on cruise control [Instrumental interlude] But today is the day, I throw that devil away I can relax and may even have time to play I’ll Sip that brew, slow and relaxed Cause this is the day I’m no longer on task No alarm clock now , don’t know the time Brand new feeling, in this rested old mind Got new coffee, in a brand new cup No more dreaming of giving it up No need to get going, cause I’ve reached that goal Gonna love this life…..on cruise control Yeah, now I set the pace…take it nice and slow Livin’ this life……on cruise control…. Loving this life….on cruise control [Instrumental fade out]
