Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, the make-up's worth the break-up, the way that Linda lays it on me
Like some ponies on a carousel, 'round and 'round and right
All them fightin' words you don't mean
Hell, I went too far, and the scars are deep as time
This fifty-mile ride from work's about to bleed the pockets dry
[Chorus]
'Cause you can't get far on paper mill pay
Twenty bones and a Chevrolet won't guarantee it, but you gotta try
Don't you know it's do or die?
She's been sittin' on the porch for too long
Playin' "Does he want me or want me not?"
Darlin', quit pickin' petals off of daffodils
Girl, I love you, and I always will
[Verse 2]
When she told me she was pregnant, well, my first thought was denial
Shoulda taken more precaution, but hadn't seen her in a while
You can't mix the oil and water when it comes down to commitment
Ain't a good life for a daughter, ain't a life without you in it
[Chorus]
And you can't get far on a paper mill pay
Twenty bones and a Chevrolet won't guarantee it, but you gotta try
Don't you know it's do or die?
She's been sittin' on the porch for too long
Playin' "Does he want me or want me not?"
Darlin', quit pickin' petals off of daffodils
Girl, I love you, and I always will
And always will
Yeah, and always will
[Outro]
And you can't get far on paper mill pay
Ain't concerned about it anyway
All I wanna do is make you right
As I'm pullin' in your gravel drive
