Lyrics
Guys like me don't win the lottery
To work all day that's my destiny
I can't catch a break nothin's free
Have my share of dreams I'll never see
That's who I am I work for Uncle Sam
It's who I've become workin' hard for someone
Other than me It will always be
A dream I'll never see
I've got a girl see her in the night
When I close my eyes she holds me tight
I can't let go it seems so right
Don't want to wake her she don't like the light
I'm not alone I know there's others like me
Workin' hard day and night to satisfy a dream
We need to remember we have got ourselves
Everybody's got a stack of dreams on a shelf
