American Idol Men finalist Lyrics

You get up every morning
From your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work on time
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be...
Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out

I was born in a dump
momma died
and my daddy got drunk
they Left me here
to die alone
in the middle of
Tobacco Road

i Grew up in a rusty shack
all I have
was hangin' on my back
only you know
how I loathe
this place called
Tobacco Road

But it's home
the only life I've ever known
only you know how i loathe
Tobacco Road

Dont stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Dont stop, itll soon be here,
Itll be, better than before,
Yesterdays gone, yesterdays gone.

If you wake up and dont want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
Youll see things in a different way

Dont stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Dont stop, itll soon be here,
Itll be, better than before,
Yesterdays gone, yesterdays gone.
