Jim Hoehn: Music
Callin' In Gone
Dead-stuck in traffic, you know I'm headed for a job I hate
Ain't nothin' movin' but the hands on my watch
Full-throttle hurry up and wait
I'm sick of the rat race, can't take one more day
My life is too short to live it this way
I'm dialing the office, put the boss-man on
I'm not callin' in sick, I'm callin' in gone
(Chorus)
I'm callin' in gone, full-fledged adios
I'm trading this cubicle, for a spot on the coast
Gonna find me a beach, oh, that's where I belong
I'm not callin' in sick, I'm callin' in gone
What the hell are you doin'? I keep asking myself
Only I know the answer, there's nobody else
Like a rat on the wheel, that's how I compare
I'm running all day, but I'm gettin' nowhere
So enough is enough, I'm saying so long
I'm not callin' in sick, I'm callin' in gone
(chorus)
No jacket and tie, no morning commute
I'm waving goodbye, one-finger salute
Goin' down to the ocean, gonna lay in the sun
The only boss I'll hear, is singin' Born to Run
I've got plenty of room, why don't you come along?
We won't be callin' in sick, we'll be callin' in gone
(chorus)
I'm not callin' in sick, I'm callin' in gone
I'm not under the weather, man, I'm totally gone
