I get up every morning Right at 6 o'clock That's how I start my morning I get in my car and drive a few short blocks To my job Well I've done it for a long long time Long enough to make the long days mine But I keep hoping that someday I'll find That it's all a bad dream 'Cause it's such a sad scene Once there was a lion A spirit free and true Till the day the trappers came They sold him to the zoo They might has well have sold me too Don't tell me about your luck, my friend Don't tell me that you're at your end We've all been there and back again You'll be back again too Someday soon before you're through
