Second Gear Video (MV)

I been saving all my money
To buy a house for me and honey
Got cash stashed under the mattress
For a place out in the country

One day I come home to see my dear
But I am faced with my worst fear
She's driving off in a brand new car
No more cash just my own tears
And I guess that's livin' life stuck in second gear

I been working hard labor to scrape along
Singing in the dive bars, pickin' these songs
If I could get a record deal I could tell this job "so long!"
But I got bills to pay and I'm barely hanging on

Just last week a big producer appeared
Looking to shine some light on my music career
As I'm leavin' work to meet him, my boss stands there with a sneer
He said "I need you to work a double, you're staying right here"
Well I guess that's livin' life stuck in second gear

I guess I'm stuck in the mud until I grow old
Each time I look for treasure only finding fool's gold
My wheels keep spinning but my life is on hold
Frame's getting rusty and the motor's gone cold

What can I do but watch time disappear
Count another gray hair in my beard
I'm a-going nowhere year after year
I'll just sit here crack another beer
And I guess that's livin' life stuck in second gear

I guess I'm stuck in the mud until I grow old
Each time I look for treasure only finding fool's gold
My wheels keep spinning but my life is on hold
Frame's getting rusty and the motor's gone cold

What can I do but watch time disappear
Count another gray hair in my beard
I'm a-going nowhere year after year
I'll just sit here crack another beer
And I guess that's livin' life
And I guess that's livin' life
And I guess that's livin' life stuck in second gear
And I guess that's livin' life stuck in second gear
