Commuter Blues

I have this feeling deep inside that I just can't lose
Clackin' down the track packed in a sea of fools
I do
I got c-c-c-commuter blues

There's a cramp in my leg in the car at the gate
Then a crackling announcement says the train's running late
It's nothing new
I got c-c-c-commuter blues

I try to read but the bead of sweat gets in my eyes
I try to sleep but elbows poke into my sides
It's sad but true
I got c-c-c-commuter blues

I barely can remember where I'm going to
Metuchen, Newark, Rahway, Trenton, Timbuktu
I know I'm so far from you
I got c-c-c-commuter blues

Maybe I should sit back and try to relax
But there's a pain on the train in my back on the tracks
Man steps on my shoe
I got c-c-c-commuter blues

There's a rip in the seat that I'm lookin' at
There's a trickle of sweat dripping down my back
Seats are so few
I got c-c-c-commuter blues

My destination is the station where the train finally gets
I need a long vacation
I'm a wreck - I'm a mess
I surely do
I got c-c-c-commuter blues
