When you can't find work with a college degree
when your heart is out there and nobody else seems to be
Take some advice it is as hard as you think
You'll love that place at first but when you're poor everything else seems to be
I'm tryin' my best to be happy
So little bird just hear me sing
I'm out on bended knee and broken wing
And I've never changed
And when you're sleepin' til' noon or three
Come on and set that alarm and get up early
'Cause baby yeah take it from me
Sleep's not what you need
I'm tryin' my best to be happy
