Doug Balmain - Burnin' Both Ends



Got bills piled up with a stamp says "Late,"
Won't hurt the collectors to wait another day
Slip some bourbon in my coffee and I put my shades on
Walk down the street and take in a little sun

All work 'n’ no play makes a bright man fade
I put in my hours but I don't get paid
I've been burning both ends 'n’ feelin' kinda strung
I got plenty to do but it ain't gettin’ done

No food in the kitchen and the laundry's pilin' up
My hair's gettin' long and the grass needs cut
I slept in late, time's slippin’ away
I always finish what I start so I'll waste away the day

All work 'n’ no play makes a bright man fade
Oh, I put in my hours but I don't get paid
I've been burning both ends 'n’ feelin' kinda strung
I got plenty to do but it ain't gettin’ done

I close my eyes for a while, let my mind drift away
I'll rest easy knowin' my toils 'll be here when I wake...

All work 'n’ no play makes a bright man fade
I put in my hours but I don't get paid
I've been burning both ends 'n’ feelin' kinda strung
I got plenty to do but it ain't gettin’ done
All work 'n’ no play makes a bright man fade
Oh, I put in my hours but I don't get paid
I've been burning both ends 'n’ feelin' kinda strung
I got plenty to do but it ain't gettin’ done
