Lyrics
Chorus:
Get Up, Sleepy One, it's time to face the mornin' sun
You got a lot of things to do and you know you really should
Daylight's a-burnin', the hands of time are turnin'
You Got To Get To Gettin', While the Gettin's Good
V1
Time waits for no one, that's one thing for sure
Fate rewards the diligent, runs over the unsure
A lot of talented people, thought they were on their way
But they took too much for granted and it all just slipped away.
Chorus
V2
Life don't owe you nothin' , there ain't no free lunch
Waitin' on winnin' the lottery is a guaranteed sucker punch
Nothin' good comes easy, nothin' cheap will last
When the train of dreams starts rollin', jump on and hold on fast
Chorus
