[Intro] Burning poles in the back of my head Hangin' on to every word that I said Got your heart in the palm of my hand [Verse 1] Man started out with it in a cave They're runnin' home, nobody's safe Left with a note, all alone Only wanted to have a happy home Now it's my turn to show my stuff It's sometimes fun and sometimes rough I'm workin' hard to earn my way But, lucky me, my work is play Oh, well An easy life That I never wanted We agree Headlong worked out I see Is there a way that we could skip this part? Because one time when I lose someone Every time they wanted to cry for me All my life I guess I'm down with that [Chorus] Burning poles in the back of my head Hangin' on to every word that I said Got your heart in the palm of my hand We work hard, play hard all the time And so I saw you running on (Work hard) I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard) We work hard, play hard all the time [Chorus] Burning poles in the back of my head Hangin' on to every word that I said Got your heart in the palm of my hand We work hard, play hard all the time And so I saw you running on (Work hard) I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard) We work hard, play hard all the time [Verse 2] And I always, always look forward That you wouldn't, wouldn't come up it And you're just, just a big talker I'm like you And we don't, don't worry about it now I really love when someone talks back to me Well from a life of very fast days Yes and I guess there's a lot to learn All from a life of take-what-you-want-days Oh, well me, well I just don't know I'm just a preacher not a spiritual role Oh well come on, just figure it out with me Even though I know it's so [Chorus] Burning poles in the back of my head Hangin' on to every word that I said Got your heart in the palm of my hand We work hard, play hard all the time And so I saw you running on (Work hard) I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard) We work hard, play hard all the time [Chorus] Burning poles in the back of my head Hangin' on to every word that I said Got your heart in the palm of my hand We work hard, play hard all the time And so I saw you running on (Work hard) I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard) We work hard, play hard all the time [Verse 3] You're a single mom with three kids and just as many jobs Your candle burns at both ends but you can't make it stop You're a farmer on a John Deer, honest work for little play Now throw that thing in park it's time to play Where there ain't no d** or doctors who can get you what you need I've got the magic potion and it doesn't cost a thing Yeah, you've seen some hard times Life just works out that way [Chorus] Burning poles in the back of my head Hangin' on to every word that I said Got your heart in the palm of my hand We work hard, play hard all the time And so I saw you running on (Work hard) I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard) We work hard, play hard all the time [Chorus] Burning poles in the back of my head Hangin' on to every word that I said Got your heart in the palm of my hand We work hard, play hard all the time And so I saw you running on (Work hard) I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard) We work hard, play hard all the time [Chorus] Burning poles in the back of my head Hangin' on to every word that I said Got your heart in the palm of my hand We work hard, play hard all the time And so I saw you running on (Work hard) I always knew you wouldn't come up with it (Play hard) We work hard, play hard all the time
