Got my rockin` down, got my headaches too I got my second thoughts and my reckon oughts and my if I do`s I got my new brogans and a basement view I got my late at nights and my bill of rights I make it hard to lose
And if I had a dime for every time I held you tight I`d be the richest man you`ve ever spent But if I had a nickel for each time you smiled tonight I`d be lucky to go home with thirty cents
I used to paint the town on a graveyard shift But that malignancy had a tendency to make your brush turn stiff So I set those times and my own small ways On a one way train down your basic drain like it was lemonade
And now I only cry about once a year I make it late at night just like a satellite that no one ever hears I just pretend you called and told me you were blue That I drink all night is just an oversight I make it hard to lose
And if I had a dime for every time I held you tight I`d be the richest man you`ve ever spent But if I had a nickel for each time you smiled tonight I`d be lucky to go home with thirty cents Honey, I`d be lucky to go home with thirty cents
