I Don’t Work Here Anymore

[Verse 1]
Growing up, I never dreamed of clocking in and clocking out
I feel like I'm being paid to lose my mind
I'm getting older, feeling colder
Like my youth is almost over
And all my dreams are fading faster all the time

[Pre-Chorus]
All my life I've waited
For a chance to chase this feeling

[Chorus]
Don't tell me what to do, I don't wanna work for you
It don't pay enough, it ain't adding up
Yeah, life's too short
I'll never be like you, so keep your uniform
I don't make enough, I'm not acting tough
I'm just out the door, I don't work here anymore
Oh-oh, I don't work here anymore, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Your blonde hair, those blue eyes
Were as crystal as the ocean
And I knew it, I could see you by my side
When you walked in, it was over
I felt sober for the first time
When you took my hand, my dreams were open wide

[Pre-Chorus]
All my life I was praying
For a chance to have this feeling

[Chorus]
Don't tell me what to do, I don't wanna work for you
It don't pay enough, it ain't adding up
Yeah, life's too short
I'll never be like you, so keep your uniform
I don't make enough, I'm not acting tough
I'm just out the door, I don't work here anymore
Oh-oh, I don't work here anymore, oh-oh

[Bridge]
'Cause I only ever dreamed about this
With every test, I tried my best not to fail
But they always make me doubt it
Not this time, this one's mine, I'm not for sale

[Chorus]
Don't tell me what to do, I don't wanna work for you
It don't pay enough, it ain't adding up
Yeah, life's too short
I'll never be like you, so keep your uniform
I don't make enough, I'm not acting tough
I'm just out the door, I don't work here anymore
Oh-oh, I don't work here anymore, oh-oh

[Post-Chorus]
I don't work here anymore, oh-oh
I don't work here anymore, oh-oh
