Lyrics

HALF-WAY DONE TWO-THIRDS TO GO
By Dwight Lakey
	
	
	   							 
Verse 1	I woke up bright and early; this’ll be a new day
      					
An extra shot of coffee; I was well on my way
     		
My blood was pumping strong on that long drive to work
     		
I was loving my job; Big Boss wasn’t a jerk
     					      			
But when I hit the door my happy face lost its glow

That job looked half-way done; two-thirds to go

				
Chorus	 	Half-way done …Feels like I’m half-way done			        
		
		Half-way done …I should be half-way done
       			
		This job will never end; it just continues to grow
       				
		Feels like I’m Half-way done; two-thirds to go

									     	
Verse 2	A couple deep breaths and I rolled up my sleeves
				
Just one step at a time; it’s what I had to believe
					
As morning rolled along and things were looking real fine
			
A crisis call came in; my mojo went in decline

Another call would follow; a quick glance would show

I was still half-way done; two-thirds to go

				
Chorus	 	Half-way done …Feels like I’m half-way done			        
		
		Half-way done …I should be half-way done
       				
		This job will never end; it just continues to grow
       				
		Feels like I’m Half-way done; two-thirds to go

				
Bridge		Some more deep breaths; I was keeping my cool
		
		They taught me that skill in anger management school		
		    						
		I tried saying “Om,” and to visualize	
			
 		That job, “Completed,” flashed before my eyes

					     	
Verse 3	A short break for lunch and I was back on the job
				
My second wind kicked in; my heart was starting’ to throb
				
I was making lots of hay and I was feeling damn good
			
I hoped to quit by five and I was thinking I could
      
But Big Boss came by, stopped me dead and said, “Whoa!”

 “Looks like you’re half-way done; two-thirds to go”

				
Chorus	 	Half-way done …Feels like I’m half-way done			        
		
		Half-way done …I should be half-way done
       			
		This job will never end; it just continues to grow
       					
		Feels like I’m Half-way done; two-thirds to go

		  	  	
Repeat	 	Half-way done …Feels like I’m half-way done			        
		
		Half-way done …I should be half-way done
       			
		This job will never end; it just continues to grow
       					
		Feels like I’m Half-way done; two-thirds to go
