Got twenty-three minutes ahead of me
And I only had a couple drops of coffee
It’ll be ten hours till I’m free
You can’t tell me that this is it
You can’t say this is the life that you wanna live
I’m driven by American Mercy
Keep your hands steady on that wheel
Had jobs even worked as a housewife
And I failed at em all
You can’t tell me that this is it
You can’t say this is the life that you wanna live
You can’t lend it or take it back
You can’t say this is the life that you wanna live
Wanna live
Wanna live
Wanna live
Don’t wanna live deep in American Mercy
You can’t tell me that this is it
You can’t say this is the life that you wanna live
You can’t lend it or take it back
You can’t say this is the life that you wanna live
Deep in American Mercy
