Lyrics
Verse 1
I’m overworked and underpaid, it’s just one great big racket
There must be some secret code, but I just can’t seem to crack it
The boss wants me to work so hard, to give more than I’ve got
But you can guess who’s gettin’ the most, the comp’ny is --- I’m not
Chorus
But the good news is, my day is coming
I’m not gonna keep on stressing
Right now I’m gonna take a pause
And simply count my blessings
Verse 2
The rent is high and food ain’t cheap, bills stare me in the face
I may just walk right out some day and give up on this race
I work all day and I work all night just tryin’ to stay afloat
One day--someday when I retire I’ll say “that’s all she wrote!”
Chorus
And the good news is, my day is coming
I’m not gonna keep on stressing
‘Cause for now I’m gonna take a pause
And gratefully count my blessings
