Early in the mornin' I'm layin' on my bed. Stickin' to the rhythm of the music in my head. Rockin' in the mirror...rollin' out the door. Hop into the car and put the pedal to the floor. Callin' out your number--I'll take you for a ride. Find something to keep me satisfied. . Runnin' for the money...layin' out the green. It's a tax accountant's nightmare--it's a rock 'n roll dream. The income may be different but the outcome's still the same. You'll never be a winner boy until you play the game. Hounded to distraction...racin' to and fro. Losin' my direction keepin' up my status quo. Now I tried - tried - tried - tried. It just don't seem to keep me satisfied. . A hundred-thousand miles in a 747. Take it all in style if you wanna get to heaven. Chasin' all the action every single night. Never understand it but you try to do it right. Ragged 'round the edges...none the worse for wear. Cuttin' all the corners but they never get me there. Now I try - try - try - try. It just don't seem to keep me satisfied. .
