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...
