I can eat rice and beans seven days a week
Basic stuff like that can always be tweaked
But every now and then I'd like a little meat
I don't need a whole lot to get by
But a little bit more would sure be nice
It'd be nice
It'd sure be nice
I can play this old guitar and make it sing
And find the right chord and make it ring
But every now and then I'd like to get some new strings
I could live all alone in a one-room shack
Keep myself busy without getting out of whack
But every now and then I’d like someone to scratch my back
I played the lottery and my numbers hit
I called up my old life and said I quit
But every now and then I still buy another ticket
