Lyrics:
It ain't the money that's the happiness,
but laying down to sleep
knowing I don't owe them anything
and they can't keep me
This pretty welfare music
You know, it doesn't pay the rent
The cost lies in
how much of me I spent
And the lines out on the highway
mark my memories now
These four wheels might
be all that I own
But there wouldn't be no cover bands
if someone didn't sing it right
I'm in it now for life
6am come early
after being out all night
Sweating through the hope
That this might be alright
But I'll be there on Sunday,
dog-eyed and unafraid
That your paycheck gonna keep me
From a promise that I made
Same bar in a different town
That same familiar smell
And the same unrepentant angels
I'll meet again in hell
It ain't the money that's the happiness,
but laying down to sleep
knowing I don't owe them anything
and they can't keep me
This pretty welfare music
You know, it doesn't pay the rent
The cost lies in
how much of me I spent
And the lines out on the highway
mark my memories now
These four wheels might
be all that I own
But there wouldn't be no cover bands
if someone didn't sing it right
I'm in it now for life
6am come early
after being out all night
Sweating through the hope
That this might be alright
But I'll be there on Sunday,
dog-eyed and unafraid
That your paycheck gonna keep me
From a promise that I made
Same bar in a different town
That same familiar smell
And the same unrepentant angels
I'll meet again in hell
