about

A couple getting by and making do, whatever that involves!

lyrics

Never had a plan
Or drew lines in the sand
When money slowed
Tanks are dry again
Will it ever end
And when who knows?

I ditched my truck it needed care
Rented rooms I thought were spare
I worked at night did some deals
Borrowed short and skipped on meals

Back in town again
Jainee loves to spend
From go to whoa
All the wiser heads
Both alive and dead
They surely know

That she reads palms
Sells some weed
A little more for weekly needs
The local cop don’t really care
His time is short a year he’s there

She flies away into her dreams
Heaven knows just what it means
Her childhood doll sits on the chair
Lends the room a gothic air
The day is long as night is cold
She seeks both freedom and control
To dance away and leave it all
Behind the trouble that she knows

She wants out again.
Bags are packed to send
I never know
Like the times before
The cash behind the drawer
Is getting low

I’ll cook some food
Open wine
Tell some tales of better times
I feel the rain is coming soon
I hold her close and sing some tunes

One more year we’ll get it done
Paint the house, time in the sun
Fix the shed sow some seed
A simple life like that’s all I need
