What's goin' on with the sun and the moon
Just punched the clock and boy am I ready
'Cause one's goin' down to early, one's comin' up to soon
Walkin' out the door a-headin' home
The hands on my old clock tell me once again that I'm fallin' behind
It's time to buckle up again
There's too much to do and not enough time
In my rolling hunk of tin
It's quittin' time the evenin' race is on
Keepin' up, I'm movin' as fast as I can
Keepin' up, in a circle that never ends
It's that five o'clock 500 and I run it every day
I can't stop like it or not I'm stuck
Pick-up trucks, cars and buses all in my way
It's runnin' me to d**h and I'm out of my breath keepin' up
We've got Darrel, we've got Dale,
Richard, Mark, Rusty and Jeff
There's no such thing for me as a nine to five
Oh, the boss just dropped the green we're on our way
It takes more sweat than that just to get us by
It's that five o'clock 500 every day
It's like I'm chasin' my own tail
'Cause Monday mornin' starts another stressed out week
Oh, Bubba's runnin' right on my bumper
The world is breathing down my neck I can feel the heat
Pushin' me but there's no where to go
Lane changin' left and right
Keepin' up, I'm movin' as fast as I can
Blowin' horns and blinkin' lights
Keepin' up, in a circle that never ends
Oh, the fast lane has never been so slow
I can't stop like it or not I'm stuck
It's runnin' me to d**h and I'm out of my breath keepin' up
It's that five o'clock 500 and I run it every day
Pick-up trucks, cars and buses all in my way
By the time we make ends meet
We've got Darrel, we've got Dale,
There's not much left for you and me
Richard, Mark, Rusty and Jeff
And no job security
Well, the boss just dropped the green we're on our way
It sure makes it tough
It's that five o'clock 500 every day
Keepin' up
Well, the caution is out we're at a stand-still
Keepin' up
Heard there's construction up ahead
I can't stop like it or not I'm stuck
Won't be long so they say
It's runnin' me to d**h and I'm out of my breath keepin' up
Soon we'll all be on our way
Some trucker on the CB just said
I'm movin' as fast as I can
Keepin' up, in a circle that never ends
It's that five o'clock 500 and I run it every day
Keepin' up
Pick-up trucks, cars and buses all in my way
I can't stop
We've got Darrel, we've got Dale,
Keepin' up, like it or not
Richard, Mark, Rusty and Jared
Oh, the boss just dropped the green we're on our way
Keepin' up, I'm movin' as fast as I can
It's that five o'clock 500, five o'clock 500,
Keepin' up, in a circle that never ends
Five o'clock 500 every day
Keepin' up
Every day, every day, every day...
I can't stop
Keepin' up, like it or not
Keepin' up...
