Clocked Out

Verse 1

Alarm ringing before the sun

Another route that had to get done

Coffee strong and the engine loud

Working hard just to make folks proud

Pre-Chorus

Miles of road behind my name

Chorus

Now I’m clocked out before my time

One lie erased a thousand tries

All those mornings before the dawn

Now they act like I was wrong

I gave everything I had to give

Now I’m learning how to live

With the sound of a slammed door

And loyalty that means no more

Verse 2

Uniform hanging on a hook at home

Feels strange not hitting the road

Every mile still in my head

Every promise left unsaid

Pre-Chorus

Funny how fast respect can fall

Chorus

Bridge

But the road don’t end just because they say

There’s another sunrise somewhere waiting for me

You can shut a door but you can’t stop time

And you can’t keep a good man down for long

Final Chorus

Yeah I’m clocked out before my time

But this ain’t the end of the line

Another road is waiting ahead

Another life I haven’t led
