The Pretender Gary U.S. Bonds

I'm gonna rent myself a house
In the shade of the freeway
I'm gonna pack my lunch in the morning
And go to work each day
And when the evening rolls around
I'll go on home and lay my body down

And when the morning light comes streaming in
I'll get up and do it again
Amen
Do it again
Amen

I want to know what became of the changes
We waited for love to bring
Were they only the fitful dreams
Of some greater awakening?
I've been aware of the time going by
They say in the end, it's in the wink of an eye
(It's in the wink of an eye)

When the morning light comes streaming in
You'll get up and do it again
Amen
Do it again
Ah, amen
