lyrics

Twenty years of tipping my hat
Bending over backwards
Breaking my back
And I’m tired now
And I wish I could get out of this place

Twenty years of sweeping the floors
Coming up empty
People slamming the door
In my face
And I wish I could get out of this place

I swear one day I’m gonna tell them off
Walk right out that door
And from then on nobody’s ever gonna scoff
At me like before

Twenty years I’ve served up a smile
Bagging up groceries
For the shamelessly vile
And I’m tired now
And I wish I could get out of this place

Twenty years of writing these songs
Down in a basement
Where they say I belong
Waiting for the day
When I can get out of this place

I swear one day I’m gonna tell them off
Walk right out that door
And from then on nobody’s ever gonna scoff
At me like before

And from then on nobody’s ever gonna scoff
At me like before
