Burnin' Both Ends Lyrics - Burnin' Both Ends [single] - Doug Balmain

Got bills piled up with a stamp says "Late," 

Won't hurt the collectors to wait another day. 

Slip some bourbon in my coffee and I put my shades on, 

Walk down the street and take in a little sun. 

All work 'n' no play makes a bright man fade, 

I put in my hours but I don't get paid. 

I've been burning both ends 'n' feelin' kinda strung, 

I got plenty to do but it ain't gettin' done. 

No food in the kitchen and the laundry's pilin' up, 

my hair's gettin' long and the grass needs cut. 

I slept in late, time's slippin' away, 

I always finish what I start so I'll waste away the day.

All work 'n' no play makes a bright man fade, 

Oh, I put in my hours but I don't get paid. 

I've been burning both ends 'n' feelin' kinda strung, 

I got plenty to do but it ain't gettin' done. 

I close my eyes for a while, let my mind drift away, 

I'll rest easy knowin' my toils 'll be here when I wake... 

All work 'n' no play makes a bright man fade, 

I put in my hours but I don't get paid. 

I've been burning both ends 'n' feelin' kinda strung, 

I got plenty to do but it ain't gettin' done.
