The alarm goes off, need a few more hours
Dog still has her bark
Spill coffee grounds all over floor
The weather is stark

The pressure is on
Seems the pressure is on
And all I've got to show
All I really know
Is I'm missing you so
Missing you so

The news screams of bailouts and races
New pitbull next door
Street corners shows less of earth's graces
I'm just wanting more

The pressure is on
Seems the pressure is on
And all I've got to show
All I really know
Is I'm missing you so
Missing you so

Go to work, hope for relief, phone just rings
I'm the only one in
Long day, close to evening
Maybe can settle down

The pressure is on
Seems the pressure is on
And all I've got to show
All I really know
Is I'm missing you so
Missing you so

Kid needs to use the car, tank is empty
Take folks to the doc
Sink always drips, releif unlikely
Bills never will stop.

The pressure is on
Seems the pressure is on
And all I've got to show
All I really know
Is I'm missing you so
Missing you so

A friend's on a political war path
The ex needs a loan
Lately he only knows his wrath
No use to groan and moan

The pressure is on
Seems the pressure is on
And all I've got to show
All I really know
Is I'm missing you so
Missing you so

Finally crawl into this empty bed
Cold without you here
Rest these endless thoughts in my head
Cold without you here
