Lyrics
Same Shirt Different Day
Every morning after I get up
I make my coffee and I pour a cup
I walk the dog and I feed the cat
and I start out every day like that
Head for the kitchen at half past six
to eat my Pop Tart and my bowl of Trix
then I put on on my boots and the company shirt
and make the 20 minute drive to work
Same shirt, different day
one of these times
I'm going to run away
I'm gonna head to the Florida Keys to stay
same shirt, different day
Scrape the ice off the Chevrolet
Looks like the traffic's pretty bad today
and the tire on my backhoe is going flat
seems I start out everyday like that
I can Work up a sweat in my company shirt
but I look real good while I shovel dirt
I keep her clean, she's easy care
and every minute of the day she's there
Same shirt, different day
I'd like to pack it up and go away
to spend all of my time on some island bay
same shirt, different day
And man I look good
But it's sure gettin' old
Everyday I'm just deeper in a hole
Same shirt, different day
too much work and too little pay
still I fire up my backhoe and dig away
same shirt, different day
