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
