Story behind the song
My favorite co-writer, Jodie had and idea for a song. It started out as "Scaling down, Living it up" and became "Something out of Nothing." I don't know how these things happen.
Lyrics
Something out of Nothing
©Jodie Lee/Bobby Nichols
When we came home from the Dollar General
There were the Jones’ on their patio
They got steaks on their grill; we got hot dogs for ours
We’re watching every dollar, ‘cause they don't go too far
Lost my job, found time for my family
We don't have as much, but we got plenty
(Chorus)
We're scaling down - living it up
I can't remember having this much fun
We’re Cuttin coupons and cuttin back, turned in the keys to the Cadillac
Now, when I come home, the kids come runnin’
Life is much better now
Making something out of nothing
We got storm clouds rollin’ in from the west
The Jones’ are runnin’; they don’t wanna get wet
We grabbed our kids and went runnin’ too
Straight to the puddle with a bottle of shampoo
We deal with the day, it don’t have to be sunny
We can still have fun, when we run out of money
Chorus
I let that corporate world steal my soul, and I let it take away my time
But now I realize, what's important in life are things money can't buy
Chorus
