GDriving to work in a Dbrand new suit
Eight Cdollar cup of coffee and a Ghundred dollar shoes
GWife, two kids, big Dhouse, no worries
Man, CI'm doing alGright

CNothing in his pockets but he's Gturning on the charm
GBloodshot eyes and Dlast night's clothes
He Cstumbles in a cab, it's like Glooking at my ghost
CHORUS:
EmTime moves faster Cadd9every Gday
