From the recordings Play This Now, This ..Our Best, Couldn't Be Anything Else, cecilia's playlist, and can't dance to that
Lyrics
made the decision
leave now ..this minute
cept Im broke
rents due in 3 days
an Im not stayin
got
expensive tolls surroundin the damn forsaken city
free bridge backed up for miles
no gas in my tank..
last time ran out of gas
middle of the bridge
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 I got
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
have to 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
this plan starting to sound..
terrible..
and every place I wanna go
more than one hundred and sixty dollars away
and every place I wanna go
more than one hundred and sixty dollars away
and every place I wanna go
more than one hundred and sixty dollars away
let me think on this
wish I had another beer
listen to me ..
wish I had another beer
like thats my big problem
no cold beer
no cold beer
cant be any more ashamed of myself
my big life goal ..another cold beer
cmon now
..dont swing low
dont swing low ..
dont swing low..baby no
hang on to the positive
hang on to the positive
the positive feeling slim
feelin pretty slim
but Im hanging
Im hangin on everyday
have to hang on
