Workin’ too hard can give you  
A heart attack (ack, ack, ack, ack, ack)  
You oughta know by now (oughta know)  
Who needs a house out in Hackensack  
Is that what you get for your money?  
It seems such a waste of time  
If that’s what it’s all about  
Mama if that’s movin’ up  
Then I’m movin’ out  
I’m movin’ out

Losing makes me sorry,

You say “Honey, don’t worry”  
That’s the way love goes.

And Honey I miss you  
And I’m being good  
And I’d love to be with you  
If only I could  
She wrecked the car and she was sad  
And so afraid that I’d be mad  
But what the heck  
Though I pretended hard to be  
Guess you could say she saw through me  
And hugged my neck

The captain wired in he had water comin’ in  
And the good ship and crew was in peril  
And later that night when his lights went outta sight  
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

I can feel the hand of a stranger  
And it’s tightening around my throat  
Heaven help me, heaven help me  
Take this stranger from my boat

I’m your captain, I’m your captain  
Though I’m feeling mighty sick  
Everybody, listen to me  
And return me my ship

You show me a look that says, let’s go  
Yes, and it feels 'bout like running a red light  
There ain’t no point in looking behind us, no  
Oh, still I feel like, feel like a stranger

It was one of those nights when you turn out the lights  
And everything comes into view  
She was taking her time, I was losing my mind  
There was nothing that she wouldn’t do

Wasting my time  
Resting my mind  
And I’ll never pine  
For the sad days and the bad days  
When we was workin’ from nine to five

Well, I saved my pennies and I saved my dimes (Giddy up, giddy up 409)  
For I knew there would be a time (Giddy up, giddy up 409)  
When I would buy a brand new 409

Oh hello Mr. Soul I dropped by to pick up a reason  
For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season  
Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin’  
I’ll cop out to the change but a stranger is putting the tease on

Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow

I’ve got a suitcase of memories that I almost left behind  
Time after time  
Time, time, time  
But you say to go slow but I fall behind  
Time after time after time after time, oh
