Light Years

(Tim Nielsen)
Words and Music by Tim Nielsen

From the album "Light Years"

Oh I've been workin so hard. On weekends wash the dishes, clean the car, mow the yard. Mondays come before I can blink. All these occupations, don't have time to think. When it's done nobody stands to cheer, And there ain't no vacation time near, I need a light year. I muddle through like I'm in the dark. Oh no I'm late already, Where am I gonna park? I could have sworn I paid that bill, Where's that cancelled check? I think I'm gonna be ill. Some folks see the light and they're free, As of yet, that hasn't happened to me. I need a light year. Think I might go out tonight. When I hear that backbeat poppin, it'll be allright. Lord I know just the place. Where you don't need no rocket, to go to outer space. When the music's playin loud, I'm miles above the crowd, I'm talkin bout light years.
