Lyrics
50 Bucks (An’ A Case Of Beer)
V1: Down Broadway on some corner,
Clad in second hand clothes,
Strummin’ on an old guitar,
He’s puttin’ on his show.
V2: Singing ‘bout the life he’s led,
And what he left back home,
Packed his beat up pickup truck,
With everything he owned.
C: So God bless the unknown ones,
Who bowed to life’s extremes,
Givin’ in to life’s misfortunes,
By selling off their dreams,
For 50 bucks an’ a case of beer,
Trading verses stained by hope and fear,
For a few more weeks of living,
And a single night of cheer,
By selling off their dreams,
For 50 bucks an’ a case of beer.
V3: His rhymes were filled with verses,
That cut down to the bone,
Stories ‘bout a lifetime’s work,
And heartaches that he's known.
C: So God bless the unknown ones,
Who bowed to life’s extremes,
Givin’ in to life’s misfortunes,
By selling off their dreams,
For 50 bucks an’ a case of beer,
Trading verses stained by hope and fear,
For a few more weeks of living,
And a single night of cheer,
By selling off their dreams,
For 50 bucks an’ a case of beer.
