The Long Way Home

[Verse] In this 9 to 5 I'm working hard every day But my boss He's stuck in his old-fashioned ways He's a good man Yeah I know that it's true But he's slow to move And it's starting to get to me Too [Verse 2] I've been patient Giving it my all Day and night But I need a raise Gotta make things right I'm ready to move on Spread my wings and fly If he won't see my worth Then it's time to say goodbye [Chorus] I'm taking the long way home On this road all alone Gotta find a place where I can thrive and grow I need a raise It's time to break free If my boss won't listen Then I'll find a better destiny
