I had a job but the boss man let me go (He said)

I'm sorry but I won't be needing your help no more (I said)

Maybe it's inside the bottle

Maybe it's inside the bottle

Your mama may have blessed the child that's got his own (Hey, hey)

If God has plans for me I hope it ain't written in stone (Hey, hey)

Because I've been working, working myself down to the bone

And I swear on Grandpa's grave I'll be paid when I come home (Paid when I come home)
