Story Behind The Song
I wrote the song based on my own situation.
Song Description
The humdrum of the working mans life compared to the aristocracy. The working man was with a young pretty girl who got bored with his routine week. The girl would certainly be happy with the high life. Sarcastically claiming that it's tough at the top in high society, but I suppose it can be in some cases.
