lirik lagu reba mcentire - 9 to 5
i’d like to tell you all just a little bit about my background. i grew up
in the southeastern part of oklahoma. in a little, bitty town called
chockie. it was little, it only had 18 people it. that’s 18 people, not
1,800. we’re talkin’ small. in that town in southeastern oklahoma, we had
a lot of fun growin’ up, us kids. there was 3 things that my mama and
daddy always taught us. number one, they taught us to work hard. number
two, they told us, if you ever start a job – you finish it. and number
three, they said once you start that job you give it 110% of everything
you have. and we did. not only is my daddy a hard workin’ man, but my mama
is a hard workin’ woman. and that’s what she instilled in us three girls,
was to be hard workin’ women. now that’s not to say we didn’t have a lot
of fun, ’cause we did. why, i can remember gettin’ in that closet. puttin’
on them high-heeled shoe
and i wanna dedicate it to all the hard-workin’ women with us tonight!
tumble outta bed and i stumble to the kitchen
pour myself a cup of ambition
and yawn and stretch and try to come to life
i jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin’
out on the street the traffic starts jumpin’
for folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
workin’ 9 to 5
what a way to make a livin’
barely gettin’ by
it’s all takin’ and no givin’
they just use your mind
and they never give you credit
it’s enough to drive you
crazy if you let it
9 to 5 for service and devotion
you would think that i
would deserve a fair promotion
want to move ahead
but the boss won’t seem to let me
i swear sometimes that man is
out to get me
well, they let you dream just to watch ’em shatter
you’re just a step on the boss man’s ladder
but you’ve got dreams he’ll never take away
well you’re in the same boat with a lot of your friends
waitin’ for the day, the ship to come in
and the tide’s gonna turn and it’s all gonna roll your way
workin’ 9 to 5
what a way to make a livin’
barely gettin’ by
it’s all takin’ and no givin’
they just use your mind
and they never give you credit
it’s enough to drive you
crazy if you let it
9 to 5 for service and devotion
you would think that i
would deserve a fair promotion
want to move ahead
but the boss won’t seem to let me
i swear sometimes that man is
out to get me
9 to 5, they got you where they want you
there’s a better life
and you think about it don’t ya
it’s a rich man’s game
no matter what they call it
and you’ll spend your life
puttin’ money in his wallet
(sung by background singers)
workin’ 9 to 5
what a way to make a livin’
barely gettin’ by
it’s all takin’ and no givin’
they just use your mind
and they never give you credit
it’s enough to drive you
crazy if you let it
9 to 5 for service and devotion
you would think that i
would deserve a fair promotion
want to move ahead
but the boss won’t seem to let me
i swear sometimes that man is
out to get me
