Meaning Again

Sittin' on the interstate The end of another day Feeling tired, feeling beat up, feeling small Sick of running this rat race And coming in last place Feeling like I don't matter at all And then I walk through the door She says "I missed you, where ya been?" And just like that My life has meaning again Sometimes work takes her away She's gone a couple days I overdose on ESPN Between reruns of Sports Center One too many drive-through windows I wind up counting down the minutes Till her plane comes in And then she walks through the door She sets her suitcase down And then just like that My life has meaning again If there's one thing I've learned in this life It's that breathing don't make you alive You need a reason Some grander scheme why you're here Buddy, I've found mine Sometimes I think What's the point? This messed up world we're living in And then she smiles It all makes sense Yeah, just like that My life has meaning again
