about

My first attempt reggae. Gives you a glimpse into my life as a trucker.

lyrics

I work until the weekend
During a busy season,
So-oh-oh
I’m glaring through a dirty window.
Staring at this cement road.
Waiting for the weekend.
A break is what I’m seeking, so-oh-oh
This is what I’m dreaming for. Reeling as the clean wind blows.


Just another day getting up for work. I’m hurting through the week but I need all the money that I’ve earned to get something between a muskie and a perch. Pulling all this weight, I wish I could stop retrieving for a jerk. My mind has often thought of water. When I’m there it doesn’t wander. I ponder on stocking a private pond with some monsters. Ordering a plain patty without anything is bonkers but it’s not just talk, Burger King got nothing on my whoppers. To get some slobs, you’re gonna need to spend some dollars so I’ve secured my job and hold it down like a bobber with a hook set. I book a charter after a good check. Bait chucking and trucking just wondering what I could net. Waiting to cast is hard as breaking my back. It’s the same with a fractured spine when you’re snapping a blank in half. Someday I’ll have a watercraft with a living space in the cabin. I’m saving for that then changing my occupation to captain.


I work until the weekend
During a busy season,
So-oh-oh
I’m glaring through a dirty window.
Staring at this cement road.
Waiting for the weekend.
A break is what I’m seeking, so-oh-oh
This is what I’m dreaming for. Reeling as the clean wind blows.


I’m good at my position but was thrown into the deep end. Looking down at concrete like the mafia got me sleeping with the fishes. Air riding, just fantasizing and dreaming. An obvious recipe is when any kind are in (season and/seasoning). Eating and reeling heavy weight really might compare. For that, I buckle down as if I’m sitting in a fighting chair. Some types are on the brink of extinction and I’m aware. I’d never get endangered species sushi cuz I find it rare. According to some poor folks I’m doing the boring stuff, supplying all their stores with their groceries and baby’s formulas. My employment got me more swamped than Florida but I would rather be on a fishing boat or a tour bus. Like a deadbeat dad, I’m not excited about the labor but I go the extra mile (in overdrive/and over drive)to count the paper. If I was to bet on if an Old Trout’s flavor is favorable, I’d ask what’s the highest amount to wager?
