lyrics
When it started out
You know, I had the best intentions
All I ever wanted to do
Is take care of you
By the time I hit the ceiling
I had got a sinking feeling
That it wasn't good enough
Just to make it through
You got my love and my money
One lasts forever. The other, well, who knows?
When rainy days are upon us
Where's your devotion?
Where does your dedication go?
What happens when the pink slip drops
What happens when the paychecks stop
What happens then
What happens when you gotta getta job
What happens when the seeds you've sown
Disappear into the ground below
What happens then
What happens when you hear the rooster crow
Fast forward 20 years
I gotta house full a kids
I gotta drawer full of bills
I gotta head full of tension
You never seem to say much
But you know the buttons to push
You always knew
How to get my attention
I hear the clock it is ticking
I've seen that expression before
You got a bun in the oven
You got one hand in my pocket
And one eye on the door
What happens when the pink slip drops
What happens when the paychecks stop
What happens then
What happens when you gotta getta job
What happens when the seeds you've sown
Disappear into the ground below
What happens then
What happens when you hear the rooster crow
What happened to the girl I knew
What happened to a heart so true
That sailed away upon the day
The slightest wind blows through
Now what happens when sun hangs low
What happens when the darkness grows
What happens then
What happens when the light don't shine on you
What happens when the pink slip drops
What happens when the paychecks stop
What happens then
What happens when you gotta getta job
What happens when the seeds you've sown
Disappear into the ground below
What happens then
What happens when you hear the rooster crow
