 - LYRICS -

 Verse 1
 =======
 Sleepin' on a planner at the port authority
 Waiting for my bus to come

 Seven scotch and sodas at the office party
 Now I don't remember where I'm from

 I think I had a
 Black wallet
 In My
 Back pocket
 With a
 Bus ticket
 And a picture of my baby inside
 And if I make it home alive I'm gonna...

 Chorus
 ======
 Get my shit together
 'Cuz I can't live like this forever
 Ya know I've come too far
 And I don't wanna fail
 I got a new computer and a
 Bright future in sales, yeah yeah
 Bright future in sales, yeah yeah

 Verse 2
 =======
 Headin' for the airport on a misty morning
 Gonna catch a flight to Baltimore

 Tried to kill an hour with the whiskey sour
 And this time I might have just one more

 I gotta do some
 Quick reading
 For the
 Big meeting
 But my
 Head is spinning
 And I can't quite open my eyes
 As long as I don't have to drive I'm gonna...

 Bridge
 ======
 I had a line on a brand-new account
 But now I can't seem to find where I wrote that number down
 I try to focus
 I'm staring at the screen
 Pretending like I know what all these little flashing lights mean
