[Verse 1] Clock’s flashin’ red My eyes stuck on that screen Cold coffee Cold fries Same four walls Same routine Boss says “you’re a blessing” While he signs his name in gold I’m prayin’ for a Sunday In a Monday-colored soul [Chorus] I’ve been workin’ overtime for heaven Punchin’ in these midnight prayers Sweat in my shirt Calloused confession Loadin’ faith on busted chairs If the good Lord’s keepin’ tally On the wrong and on the right I’m on time and a half to heaven Pullin’ doubles every night (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Steel toes in the gravel Boot dust on the dash Radio preachin’ mercy While the gas light blinks on flash Mama left a message “Baby Don’t you lose your joy” But I’m stuck between a paycheck And the dreams I can’t employ [Chorus] I’ve been workin’ overtime for heaven Punchin’ in these midnight prayers Sweat in my shirt Calloused confession Loadin’ faith on busted chairs If the good Lord’s keepin’ tally On the wrong and on the right I’m on time and a half to heaven Pullin’ doubles every night (hey!) [Instrumental] [guitar solo over extended chorus chords Drums and organ swell Vocal hums in background] [Bridge] I said I’m tired of feelin’ empty Tired of feelin’ used But You walked into my break room Sat beside my worn-out shoes You said “son I see your struggle I’m the clock you can’t outrun” Laid my paycheck on the altar Found out the work was already done [Chorus] Still I’m workin’ overtime for heaven But the load don’t feel as hard Got a back-row hallelujah Right here in this factory yard If the good Lord’s keepin’ tally Then His grace is inked in bright I’m on time and a half to heaven But I’m ridin’ in His light [Outro] Time and a half to heaven Punchin’ out at morning’s rise Grease on my hands Heart forgiven Clockin’ in on the other side

rock, Country-rock gospel grit with a grungy edge; male vocals. Swampy drums and driving bass under twangy electric and overdriven rhythm guitars. Verses stay tight and half-muttered, choruses burst into big churchy harmonies with organ pads. Mid-song, a searing, slightly messy guitar solo rides over a cymbal-swelled vamp before dropping into a stripped-back bridge, then one last full-tilt chorus and shout-along outro., grunge, gospel, country rock
