[Verse 1: Aaron Watson]
Tumble out of bed, stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street, the traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from nine to five

[Chorus: Aaron Watson & Kylie Frey]
Workin' nine to five, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind, and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

[Verse 2: Kylie Frey]
They let you dream just to watch you shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you got drеams he'll never takе away
In the same boat as a lot of your friends
Waitin' on the day your ship'll come in
But the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way

[Chorus: Aaron Watson & Kylie Frey]
Workin' nine to five, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind, and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Nine to five, for service and devotion
You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead, but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear, sometimes that girl is out to get me
[Outro: Aaron Watson, Kylie Frey, Both]
Nine to five (Oh-oh)
Barely gettin' by
They just use your mind
Workin' nine to five
