Whan I was kid I had a pretty good idea
Where I'd end up in a couple of years
Couple of problems between me and you
Couple of jars down stairs 100 proof
[CHORUS]
Think of the money that the banks been lending
If I could get some of that I'd stop pretending
Painting houses on the side
Full time, just trying to get by
Tried of lugging leathers two cans of paint
Tall standing back and then sit up straight
When the lines are good and you don't give a damm
take a tired step from lefty's van
[CHORUS]
If they every let me back inthe USA
I got a fake name on my license plate
its a 50 50 chance at the border
Praying that they don't find that wanted posted
I might make cassettes and try to sell
They get back in the car and drive back to hell
Back to
[CHORUS]
They call mne shrerwin williams back at clover dale
Sheet rock in my fingers plaster in my hair
I'm an old man named after another
Same as my daddy and my daddy's older brother
In the family tradition there ain't no money in singing
Ain't no time to go fishing 'cept for the rigging
Back to
[CHORUS]
Instrumental verse
Repeat first verse
[CHORUS]
Outro
Full time trying to get by
Fully time trying to get by
