I wake up every morning bright and early
Roll out of bed but 
I'm never quite alone
Tension is pulling me in all directions
And these problems use me as a rope
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
At any time 
I could explode
I need some peace of mind, it's got me tired
Don't wanna lose it, but 
I'm turning down that road
I need a moment 'cause 
I've spread myself too thin
We all need a moment in our life
Work's hard, the day's too long
And that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time
I sit in traffic every single morning
Just as I arrive, 
I'm slaving to the grind
Making the money, so 
I feed my family
But I can't raise them, 'cause 
I ain't got the time
I got no free days on my busy schedule
I turn the page and it's the same
Don't like my situation, you don't either
Don't wanna look back scared, 
I will get away
I need a moment 'cause 
I've spread myself too thin
We all need a moment in our life
Work's hard, the day's too long
And that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time
But every now and then 
I drive alone and over all
Hot summer day, a gentle breeze that feels alright
All alone, and 
I can't feel no pain, only strain
Enjoy the sights, 
I feel alive, relaxing here just feels alright
Far from home
I need a moment 'cause 
I've spread myself too thin
We all need a moment in our life
Work's hard, the day's too long
And that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time
