Sleeping on a planner at the Port Authority
Waitin' for my bus to come
Seven scotch-and-sodas at the office party
Now I don't remember where I'm from

I think I had a
Black wallet in my
Back pocket with a
Bus ticket and a picture of my baby inside
And if I make it home alive...

I'm gonna get my shit together
'Cause I can't live like this forever
You know I've come to far
And I don't wanna fail
I gotta new computer and a
Bright future in sales
Yeah yeah
A bright future in sales
Yeah yeah

Heading for the airport on a misty morning
Gonna catch a flight to Baltimore
Try to kill an hour with a whiskey sour
If there's time I might have just one more

I gotta do some
Quick reading for the
Big meeting but me
Head is spinning and I can't quite open my eyes
As long as I don't have to drive...

I'm gonna get my shit together
'Cause I can't live like this forever
You know I've come too far and
I don't wanna fail
I got a new computer and a
Bright future in sales
Yeah yeah
Bright future in sales
Yeah yeah
Bright future in sales
Yeah yeah
Bright future in sales
Yeah yeah

I had a line on a brand new account
But now I can't seem to find
Where I wrote that number down
I try to focus, I'm staring at the screen
Pretending that I know what all these little flashing lights mean

I gotta do some
Quick reading for the
Big meeting but my
Head is spinning and I can't quite open my eyes

I'm gonna get my shit together
'Cause I can't live like this forever
You know I've come too far and I don't wanna fail
I gotta new computer and a
Bright future in sales
Yeah yeah
Bright future in sales
Yeah yeah
Bright future in sales
Yeah yeah
Bright future in sales
Yeah yeah
