All I Want Is A Life

I just want to get a little more out of my payday
Finally own a car that doesn’t break down on the freeway
A little vacation
Ain’t asking very much
I hate comin’home to this old broken down apartment
I wish I had a dime for every hole that’s in the carpet
I don’t want it all
But I ain’t got enough
All I want is a life
To drink from a glass from a well that ain’t dry
I’m sick of the crumbs I want a piece of that pie
All I want is a life
I don’t mind the hours and the pain that comes from workin'
But it’s enough to kill me when I see my baby hurtin'
Wanna give her that diamond I never got to buy
She keeps tellin’me that everything is gettin’better
But one step up the rung and someone knocks me off the ladder
Just wanna break even
Someday before I die
All I want is a life
To drink from a glass from a well that ain’t dry
I’m sick of the crumbs I want a piece of that pie
All I want is a life
All I want is a life
To drink from a glass from a well that ain’t dry
I’m sick of the crumbs I want a piece of that pie
All I want is a life
All I want
Is a life
All I want
Is a life
