Well I work like a dog eight hours a day you know I'm nearly dead
I stop by a bar on my way home tryin' to loosen up my head
Lord knows this is a hard life and sometimes it'll drive you crazy
Lord there ain't no pleasure in this life for me but the nighttime and my baby

Well I'd love to ride all over town in a brand new Cadillac
But on the money that I'm makin' it'll never be like that
But money can't buy everything like tender love that I hame home a waitin'
And the only pleasure in this life for me is the nighttime and my baby

When I get home she's always got love saved up for me
Her warm sweet lips will make me forget my misery
With her arms around me through the long long night
I wake up in the morning feeling right

Start back to that old job again with the boss standin' over me
Sayin' hurry up you gotta work hard that's the way it's gonna be
Ten hours just keep on draggin' and Lord knows this life of mine ain't easy
Lord there ain't no pleasure in this life for me but the nighttime and my baby

When I get home she's always got love saved up for me...
Start back to that old job again...
