12 Hour Days Lyrics - Singles - Luke Stricklin

My bills are paid, I've got some money saved 

But It's been a week since I've seen my baby's face 

Too much caffeine, and nicotine 

Need a double shot of whiskey just to get to sleep 

I can't complain, I just need to find a way 

To break this chain of 12 hour days 

I've worked down here, going on 10 years 

But it's hard for me to call it a career 

Cuz it's hour by hour, and check to check 

Everyday I have to earn the man's respect 

I've heard him say there's lines of guys to take my place 

Up on this string of 12 hour days 

Chorus: 

I can't slow down, I can't fall behind 

Last thing I need is a place in the unemployment line 

I've got needs, and I've still got dreams 

But it's family that means the most to me 

So I do my job, and when I can I rest 

And I'll do better with what little time is left 

I should give thanks, and be proud of the life I've made 

So tonight I pray for more 12 hour days
