Those big ole dreams In this little old town Three kids later Came crashing on down With the lot rent due And the gas bill too I need a miracle to survive this week Twenty-two years On the same old grind Only four days a week But it's nine to nine You gotta do what You gotta do to get by And I'd need a miracle to survive this week Meaning well and such ain't ever the stuff That makes one dear to us You know how the road to hell gets paved And you know how to call my bluff Call my bluff I need to take a little time for myself this year Go fishin', plant a garden, or maybe even brew my own beer Yeah I need a little bit of time for myself this year And I need this weekend to take me away from here Take me away Lord knows I been Tryin' real hard Building my credit Even got me a car I don't blow my paycheck On nights in the bar But I'll need a miracle to survive this week Meaning well and such ain't ever the stuff That makes one dear to us You know how the road to hell gets paved And you know how to call my bluff Call my bluff
