Lyrics

Well we all want a life that looks like we’re doing ok,
Just trying to keep up with the Jones’s without a sole penny to save,
Barely getting by, just smile, pretend everything’s alright.
Don’t you know I’ve got a life on tick, but I’m running out of drip,
With nothing to my name!
I got a nice home, that I don’t own,
And a car on the drive that’s not paid for.
I’ve got a good girl, she’s got a big heart,
But she knows how to use my credit card.
I got a good job, I kinda work hard,
Cus somethings got to pay for this guitar!
Some folks say the best things in life are free…
Well, I’m looking in my pocket and my wallet disagrees.
Another one of those years when I’m swimming in arrears,
Deciding which bills to pay.
I’ll be in debt for a lifetime, I should give up this lifestyle,
And ive only got myself to blame.
And its alright. I’ll smile, pretend everything’s just fine.
Cus I got a life on tick and im running out of drip,
Without a penny to my name!
I got a nice home, that I don’t own,
And a car on the drive that’s not paid for.
I’ve got a good girl, she’s got a big heart,
But she knows how to use my credit card.
I’ve got a good job, I kinda work hard,
Cus somethings got to pay for this guitar!
Some folks say the best things in life are free…
Well, I’m looking in my pocket and my wallet disagrees.
Tonnes of debt!
I got a nice home, that I don’t own,
And a car on the drive that’s not paid for.
I’ve got a good girl, she’s got a big heart,
But she knows how to use my credit card.
I’ve got a Mortgage, I can’t afford this,
And my pension tells me I’m worthless,
Some folks say the best things in life are free…
Well, there’s nothing in my wallet I could do with a lottery win
