## Lyrics
[verse]
Tommy's got a wrench and a garage of his own
Says the whole neighborhood is set in stone
Everybody's saving for a bigger door
Nobody's asking what they're saving for

[chorus]
You can work your whole life trying to move on out
Chase a bigger house, a car, a heavier clout
But if you never stop to catch your breath
You'll trade the living for a slower death

[verse]
Rosie's got a ring from a fella down the block
Wants a house in Hicksville with a picket lock
But she's still dreaming of the open road
Wondering if it's worth the heavier load

[chorus]
You can work your whole life trying to move on out
Chase a bigger house, a car, a heavier clout
But if you never stop to catch your breath
You'll trade the living for a slower death

[bridge]
So take the wheel and drive it where you please
Don't let the neighborhood decide your ease
Life's too short to build a bigger cage
Better burn a little brighter on the stage

[chorus]
You can work your whole life trying to move on out
Chase a bigger house, a car, a heavier clout
But if you never stop to catch your breath
You'll trade the living for a slower death
