Lyrics (as best as I can tell)

Sleepin’ on a planner at the port authority,
waitin’ for my bus to come,
Seven scotch and sodas at the office party
Now I don’t remember where I’m from

I think I had a black wallet
With a bus ticket
And a picture of my baby inside
And if I make it home alive

I’m gonna get my shit together
Cause I can’t live like this forever,
You know I’ve come to far and I don’t wanna flip (quit?)
I gotta new computer and a bright future in sales
(yeah yeah)
Yeah yeah, bright future in sales
(yeah yeah)
Yeah yeah, Yeah yeah

Headin’ for the airport on a misty morning
Gonna catch a flight to Baltimore
Try to kill an hour with a whiskey-sour
If there’s time i might have just one more

I gotta do some, quick readin’
for the big meetin’
but my head is spinning
and i can’t quite open my eyes
as long as I don’t have to drive

I’m gonna get my shit together
Cause I can’t live like this forever,
You know I’ve come to far and I don’t wanna flip (quit?)
I gotta new computer and a bright future in sales
yeah yeah
(Yeah yeah), bright future in sales
yeah yeah
(Yeah yeah) Yeah yeah

I had a line on a brand new account
But now i can’t seem to find where i wrote the number down,
I try to focus,
I’m starin at the screen,
Pretendin’ like a know what all these little flashing lights mean

(oh yeah)
