This is too long from being gone
And it's too far to go
And its never ever gonna work
Because it never has before
On a trip and when you think
You can't take another day
But you have to press on
Cause there's no other way
You gotta work and you gotta get paid

So I just put my heart on ice
Thaw it out when I'm home
Cause it just might need the rest
So it don't break when I'm alone
On a trip and when I think
I can't take another day
But I have to press on
Cause there's no other way
I gotta work and I gotta get paid
I gotta work and get paid

People I miss but you cant miss a thing
When you're out on the road
Things are the stuff that you leave or you bring
They become a heavy load

So I just put my heart on ice
Thaw it out when I'm home
Cause it just might need the rest
So it don't break when I'm alone
On a trip and when I think
I can't take another day
But I have to press on
Cause there's no other way
You gotta work and you gotta get . . . Paid

On a trip and when I think
I can't take another day
But I have to press on
Cause there's no other way
Gotta work and I gotta get paid
I gotta work and I gotta get paid
I gotta work and I gotta get paid
I gotta work
