"All I Want Is A Life" lyrics

"All I Want Is A Life"

I just want to get a little more out of my payday
Finally own a car that doesn't break down on the freeway
A little vacation
Ain't asking very much
I hate coming home to this old broken-down apartment
I wish I had a dime for every hole that's in the carpet
I don't want it all but I ain't got enough

All I want is a life
To drink from a glass from a well that ain't dry
I'm sick of the crumbs I want a piece of that pie
All I want is a life

I don't mind the hours and the pain that comes from working
But it's enough to kill me when I see my baby hurting
Wanna give her that diamond I never got to buy
She keeps telling me that everything is getting better
But one step up the rung and someone knocks me off the ladder

Just wanna break even someday before I die

All I want is a life
To drink from a glass from a well that ain't dry
I'm sick of the crumbs, I want a piece of that pie
All I want is a life

Oh, all I want is a life
To drink from a glass from a well that ain't dry
I'm sick of the crumbs, I want a piece of that pie
All I want is a life

All I want
Is a life
All I want
Is a life
