Living In The Truck

about

The struggles of becoming a recognized singer/songwriter and the worthlessness of music

lyrics

I don’t make nothing playing the blues
But I could make some good money selling lemonade
If I ain’t doing nothing, I probably can’t afford shoes
But if I am doing something, then I’ve got something to lose

Living in the truck ain’t so bad
Taking showers when it rains
And I can’t afford these cigarettes
Because lighters and music cost the same

Did you know you need to get a permit just to play the guitar outside?
You can’t even play a cover of Wagon Wheel without your ass getting fined
I played the guitar for hours on the corner, didn't make nothing
But passerby-er’s say that someday, I could amount to something

Living in the truck ain’t so bad
Taking showers when it rains
And I can’t afford these cigarettes
Because lighters and music cost the same

I don’t live for nothing, I live for everything
I believe that if you’ve got a voice, then you need to sing
I didn't come down just to drink all of your cold beer
I come down because I goddamn wanted to play here

Living in the truck ain’t so bad
Taking showers when it rains
And I can’t afford these cigarettes
Because lighters and music cost the same
