Lyrics
Verse 1
Monday left a mark on my hands
Rent was due, and the fridge was bare
I wore my luck like a torn-out seam
Counted my hope on a folding chair
Pre-Chorus
But I kept on walking
Kept that chin up high
Steel in my shoulders
Fire in my eye
Chorus
Payday comes, payday comes
I can feel it in my bones (payday comes)
Payday comes, payday comes
I’m not sinking on my own (payday comes)
Hold on tight
We’ll make it through
Payday comes for me and you
Verse 2
Fuel light blinked like a bad joke
Boss said, “push on,” so I pushed on
Shoes got worn, and the bills piled high
Still I sang when the day was gone
Pre-Chorus
Now the hour’s turning
Hear that change of sound
All those hard days
Coming back around
Chorus
Payday comes, payday comes
I can feel it in my bones (payday comes)
Payday comes, payday comes
I’m not sinking on my own (payday comes)
Hold on tight
We’ll make it through
Payday comes for me and you
Bridge
Let the hard weeks talk
I’ve been here before
I know how to stand
At the edge of more
One small check
One deep breath
Then I laugh at the storm again
Chorus
Payday comes, payday comes
I can feel it in my bones (payday comes)
Payday comes, payday comes
I’m not sinking on my own (payday comes)
Hold on tight
We’ll make it through
Payday comes for me and you
