Little More Money

Granny's got some pills beside her coffee cup

I sell 'em on the corner to folks who shoot 'em up

Been the man of the house since I was just thirteen

Yeah, my daddy was a chickenshit, common thief

But I wish I could roll the stone to help me off of this ledge I'm on

And I'd be freed from home

A little more money and I'll be gone

A little more money and I'll be gone

Sometimes I think the world done forgot about me

I ain't got no skills or a college degree

Maybe an education would brighten my skies

Maybe some Visine would clear my eyes

Yeah, I wish I could roll the stone, help me off of this ledge I'm on

And I'd be freed from home

A little more money and I'll be gone

A little more money and I'll be gone

These days it seems I might be losin' my mind

Does the man upstairs, He even care to throw me a line?

It's not too far gone to hold onto the light like it's your last fight

And you're barely alive, you do what you can to survive

I'm out here in the pouring rain

These dilapidated buildings all look the same

It'll bog you down, and you can never leave

Least not in Alabama where they'll bury me

Yeah, I wish I could roll the stone and help me off of this ledge I'm on

And I'd be freed from home

A little more money and I'll be gone

A little more money and I'll be gone

A little more money and I'll be gone
