PARADISE WORDS AND MUSIC
LAURIE GOULDEN
© MAY 27 2011
===================================================
THEY TELL ME THE CLOSEST I’LL EVER GET TO PARADISE
IS THE FUZZY DICE HANGING FROM MY REARVIEW MIRROR
YOU CAN LAUGH AND TELL ME TWICE
THAT AIN’T NICE BUT I THINK I’M ALREADY THERE
I MAY WORK A LOT BUT NOT TOO HARD
I STILL GET TO SING FOR FREE
I GOT SOME FOOD IN THE FRIDGE
A WARM PLACE TO LAY MY HEAD
AND A WOMAN WHO LOVES ME LYING NEXT TO ME
I DON’T WANT TO BE A BILLIONAIRE
TOO MUCH TROUBLE I HEAR
NEW FRIENDS FIND YOU AT EVERY TURN
BUT I LIKE THE FRIENDS YOU EARN
A LITTLE MORE MONEY WOULD BE COOL
JUST ENOUGH THAT I WOULDN’T ACT LIKE A FOOL
IT MAY SEEM I DON’T HAVE A LOT
BUT I WORKED HARD FOR EVERYTHING I GOT
CHORUS
I DON’T WANT TO BE A SLAVE TO THE MAN
WORKING EVERY MINUTE I POSSIBLY CAN
HOPING TO GET A NEW PROMOTION
NO TIME TO SPEND WITH MY BABY SON
STILL TRYING TO CHASE MY DREAMS
STESSED OUT LIVING BEYOND MY MEANS
I LIKE LIVING ON A LITTLE LESS
MORE TIME WITH MY FAMILY IS ALWAYS BEST
CHORUS REPEAT LAST THREE LINES OF CHORUS
