Lyrics

[Verse]
Jose's in the backroom, countin' tubs and tips,
Checkin' every number, always on his lips.
He's got his buddy Ryan, workin' by his side,
Both stuck in this cycle, takin' it in stride.

[Verse 2]
The sun's out shinin', workin' nine to five,
In the warehouse corner, tryin' to stay alive.
Big boss says repeat it, every single day,
They dream of freedom, but there ain't no other way.

[Chorus]
Countin' tubs and tips, round and round we go,
Jose and Ryan, in this endless flow.
Daylight keeps on passin', wishin' for more,
Workin' for the paycheck, that's all they're lookin' for.

[Verse 3]
Ryan cracks a joke, to make the time go by,
Jose just smiles, with a weary eye.
Two friends in the trenches, doin' what they must,
Workin' for the man, tryin' to adjust.

[Verse 4]
In their quiet moments, they dream of the road,
A life without the numbers, a different kind of load.
But here in the warehouse, they just do their best,
Findin' little joys, and takin' all the rest.

[Chorus]
Countin' tubs and tips, round and round we go,
Jose and Ryan, in this endless flow.
Daylight keeps on passin', wishin' for more,
Workin' for the paycheck, that's all they're lookin' for.
