lyrics

I took the easy way out too many times before
It's not something I adore
If I was a goat on a mountain top
I'd fall asleep and probably snore
But now I feel like I'm a man again
With a job and responsibilities
I work my ass off every day and night
For little to no pay

Coffee in the morning
Beer before I sleep
Gamble all my paychecks
Sow just what I reap

I've seen friends go back to school and they don't pay for it
Their parents are footing the bill
& It's all in the name of education
And that's alright with me
But when they grow up they will be in debt
And that's not where I want to be
I want to be where the wind blows me
And that just happens to be here
I wanna have a lot of integrity
My hustle is honesty

Coffee in the morning
Beer before I sleep
Gamble all my paychecks
Sow just what I reap
