Lyrics
[Verse 1] I got nothin' but pennies where a dollar oughta be, I got nothin' but pennies where a dollar oughta be. Empty pockets and a broken bank is all that's left for me. [Verse 2] I'm walkin' down this lonely road in my threadbare clothes, I'm walkin' down this lonely road in my threadbare clothes. These worn-out shoes tell a story that everybody knows. [Verse 3] I rent a little shack, got a leaky roof above my head, I rent a little shack, got a leaky roof above my head. I sleep on that cold floor 'cause I can't afford a bed. [Verse 4] My only transportation is a rusty truck that's secondhand, My only transportation is a rusty truck that's secondhand. I gotta scrape by just to put gas in the promised land. [Verse 5] I put in that overtime 'til my whole body aches and groans, I put in that overtime 'til my whole body aches and groans. Got these calloused hands from the long shift breaking my bones. [Verse 6] I'm bringing home that check paid at the minimum wage, I'm bringing home that check paid at the minimum wage. The dusty ledger proves the balance is turnin' a red page. [Verse 7] I’m so hungry and tired, I got that bitter taste in my soul, I’m so hungry and tired, I got that bitter taste in my soul. Trapped in this constant chase, I can't reach my financial goal. [Verse 8] I stare at my house through the cracked window and the faded sign, I stare at my house through the cracked window and the faded sign. Carryin' the world's weight 'cause nothing I own is truly mine. [Bridge] Clocking out late, but I ain't gettin' ahead, Yeah, I’m still just making rent, that's what the good book said. I let out a heavy sigh and wish I was back in bed. [Outro] Oh, the ledger's always red, yeah, it's always red... Two jobs and I'm still just a thin dime ahead... Goodnight, everybody... from the cardboard castle... Lord, I'm so tired...
