Little More Money

Granny's got some pills beside her coffee cup

I sell 'em on the corner to folks who shoot 'em up

Been the man of the house since I was just 13

Yeah, my daddy was a chicken shit, common thief

But I wish I could roll the stone

Help me off of this ledge I'm on

And I'd be free from home

A little more money and I'll be gone

A little more money and I'll be gone

Sometimes I think the world done forgot about me

I ain't got no skills or a college degree

Maybe an education would brighten my skies

Maybe some Visine would clear my eyes

Yeah, I wish I could roll the stone

Help me off of this ledge I'm on

And I'd be free from home

A little more money and I'll be gone

A little more money and I'll be gone

These days, it seems I might be losing my mind

Does the Man upstairs, he even care to throw me a line?

It's not too far gone to hold on to the light

Like it's your last fight and you're barely alive

You do what you can to survive

I'm out here in the pouring rain

These dilapidated buildings all look the same

It'll bog you down, and you can never leave

'Least not in Alabama where they'll bury me

Yeah, I wish I could roll the stone

Help me off of this ledge I'm on

And I'd be free from home

A little more money and I'll be gone

A little more money and I'll be gone

A little more money and I'll be gone
