From the recording songs from the junkyard
Lyrics
made the decision
leave now ..this minute
cept im broke
rent due in 3 days
an Im not stayin
they got
expensive tolls surroundin
this damn forsaken city
free bridge backed up
for miles
no gas in my tank..
last time ran out of gas
middle of the bridge
that was some
expensive public humiliation
still have to pack
should be easy
cept ..
lent out my designer suitcase set
7 months ago
I’m a good friend ..like that
has not been returned
you know
not putting my stuff
in supermarket plastic bags
walking down 3 flights of stairs
every option
more humiliating
than the other...
wait a second.. now
dont swing low
dont swing low
dont swing low
...what if
work two more days
at that miserable job
Im leavin to quit
two final days.. maybe
..I guess
.. could be ..
enough .. maybe
like one hundred and sixty dollars ..cash
got some friends down
the sunshine state
sunshine what I need
a little sunshine what I need
thinkin maybe one hundred and sixty dollars aint enough
hundred sixty dollars
gonna get me only half way
everywhere I wanna go
more than one hundred and sixty dollars away
...could maybe
do another week ... of work
build a big fat travelin stash
startin to look forward to this
a new start
sounding better.. every minute
think.. I'll have me a beer
last one .. empty refrigerator
..feels more lonely
when I look in there
and everywhere I wanna go ..
more than one hundred and sixty dollars away
buy a cheap suitcase
got more pride
not walking down those stairs
with supermarket plastic bags
full of my things
and my things
..all my things ..
aint worth nothin
a suitcase carrying ..nothin
wait a second
dont swing low
dont swing low
dont swing low baby no
dont do it
hang on now
to the positive
jus gonna need ta work
a little more.. time
..a month.. maybe
plan starting to sound..
terrible..
every place I wanna go
more than one hundred and sixty dollars away
every place I wanna go
more than one hundred and sixty dollars away
let me think
wish I had another beer
cmon now ..dont swing low
dont swing low ..
dont swing low
hang on to the positive
hang on to the positive
though the positive
feeling slim
have to hang on
getting slimmer
every moment
every moment pretty thin
jus hang on
