Sweat on my brow, but it won't be long. (Not too long, not too long)
See that door, see that light, (Door's so close, light's so bright)
Almost there, outta sight. (Outta sight, outta sight)
[Pre-Chorus]
Feelin' free, just like the wind, (Feelin' free, oh, the wind)
Clockin' out so soon, let the night begin. (Soon begin, let it in)
[Chorus]
Clockin' out, oh, I'm clockin' out, (Clockin' out, clockin
Oh, the clock's tickin', it’s five to five, (Tick-tock, tick-tock)
I'm feelin' that freedom, it's about to arrive. (Freedom's comin', oh, it's comin')
Worked my fingers to the bone, (Worked so hard, worked so hard)
But I'm dreamin' of a place called home. (Dreamin' of home, dreamin' of home)
(Chorus)
Clockin' out, oh, I'm clockin' out, (Clockin' out, clockin' out)
Feelin' like a bird, gonna scream and shout. (Flyin' high, flyin' high)
But when I clock out, oh, I clock right in, (Clock right in, clock right in)
To another day's work, where the chores begin. (Chores begin, chores begin)
(Verse 2)
Steppin' through the door, shoes on the floor, (Step inside, step inside)
Laundry piles high, can't ignore. (Can't ignore, can't ignore)
Dishes waitin', kids need a hand, (Helpin' out, helpin' out)
This ain't the life that I had planned. (Not what I planned, not what I planned)
(Chorus)
Clockin' out, oh, I'm clockin' out, (Clockin' out, clockin' out)
Feelin' like a bird, gonna scream and shout. (Flyin' high, flyin' high)
But when I clock out, oh, I clock right in, (Clock right in, clock right in)
To another day's work, where the chores begin. (Chores begin, chores begin)
(Bridge)
Makin' beds, sweepin' the hall, (Sweep it clean, sweep it clean)
Answerin' calls, got no time at all. (No time at all, no time at all)
By the time I sit, the moon's high above, (Moon's so high, moon's so high)
Wonderin' where's the peace, where's the love? (Where's the love, where's the love?)
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Clockin' out, oh, I'm clockin' out, (Clockin' out, clockin' out)
Feelin' like a bird, gonna scream and shout. (Flyin' high, flyin' high)
But when I clock out, oh, I clock right in, (Clock right in, clock right in)
To another day's work, where the chores begin. (Chores begin, chores begin)
(Verse 3)
Settin' the alarm, layin' down my head, (Lay it down, lay it down)
Dreams of freedom as I head to bed. (Dreamin' free, dreamin' free)
Eight hours' rest, I’m clockin' in, (Clockin' in, clockin' in)
For tomorrow's work, let it begin. (Let it begin, let it begin)
(outro)
Clockin' out, oh, I'm clockin' out, (Clockin' out, clockin' out)
Feelin' like a bird, gonna scream and shout. (Flyin' high, flyin' high)
Clockin' out, oh, I'm clockin' out, (Clockin' out, clockin' out)
Feelin' like a bird, gonna scream and shout. (Flyin' high, flyin' high)
