Got to Be a Better Way Home

Baby just believe me, don't try to read me
I got to catch the 5:05
I got a ragged, hungry band full of stone survivors
We're out here trying to keep it alive
No more favors for these strangers saying "Hi" or "Oh"
Don't care about your problems, baby, all I want to know is

How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it tonight?
I work hard enough, I'm tired of smiling in lines
I never said I'd try to set the world on fire
Leave me alone
I have to find a better way home

I do it all in an hour, could you talk a little louder?
I don't open my eyes until midnight
They're screaming to please me, got to make it look easy
Cause I'm fighting for my life in the spotlight
I'm dancing in my corner, bet the bell won't ring
I got no time to argue baby, tell me one thing

How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it tonight?
I work hard enough, I'm tired of smiling in lines
I never said I'd try to set the world on fire
Leave me alone
I have to find a better way home

I hear that motor revving, baby I got to go
Just before I leave there's one thing I got to know

How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it tonight?
I work hard enough, I'm tired of smiling in lines
I never said I'd try to set the world on fire
Leave me alone
I have to find a better way home

I got to get on board, baby
Mama's out there
I'm gonna get there, baby
I got a better way home
I got to get there, darlin'
Don't you know, baby
Coming home, baby
Coming home, baby
Coming home, baby
Coming home, baby
