lyrics

SMOKIN HALF OF SOMEBODY ELSES CIGARETTES
GOTTA PINCH OF REDMAN GOLD
ONE MORE SWIG OF PBR AND YOU KNOW THAT IT AINT COLD
A CUP OF RAMEN IN THE MICROWAVE AND THAT SURE IS GETTING OLD
IT'S THE DAY BEFORE PAYDAY MIGHT BE THE END OF THE WORLD I'M TOLD

IT TOOK ALL THE CHANGE IN MY ASH TRAY JUST TO GET TO THIS GIG TONIGHT
I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GONNA GET HOME BUT I STILL FEEL ALRIGHT
YOU SEE I LIVE MY LIFE ON STAGES ALOT LIKE THIS ONE HERE
THEY FEEL SO MUCH LIKE CAGES AND OUTSIDE THE WALLS LIE ALL MY FEARS

SMOKIN HALF OF SOMEBODY ELSES CIGARETTES
GOTTA PINCH OF REDMAN GOLD
ONE MORE SWIG OF PBR AND YOU KNOW THAT IT AINT COLD
A CUP OF RAMEN IN THE MICROWAVE AND THAT SURE IS GETTING OLD
IT'S THE DAY BEFORE PAYDAY MIGHT BE THE END OF THE WORLD I'M TOLD

I GOT A REAL JOB SELLIN PAPER AT AN OFFICE WAY DOWN TOWN
THERE AINT NO THRILLS BUT IT PAYS THE BILLS AND KEEPS THE OLD LADY AROUND
GONNA TAKE ALL MY CHECK TOMORROW JUST TO KEEP HER BY MY SIDE
AND A LOT OF ACHIN AND SORROW JUST TO KEEP HER SATISFIED

SMOKIN HALF OF SOMEBODY ELSES CIGARETTES
GOTTA PINCH OF REDMAN GOLD
ONE MORE SWIG OF PBR AND YOU KNOW THAT IT AINT COLD
A CUP OF RAMEN IN THE MICROWAVE AND THAT SURE IS GETTING OLD
IT'S THE DAY BEFORE PAYDAY MIGHT BE THE END OF THE WORLD I'M TOLD

I GO TO WORK AND SLAVE AWAY
I'M WORKIN HARDER EVERY DAY
I THINK I NEARLY BROKE MY NECK
BUT STILL I'M LIVIN CHECK TO CHECK
MY LADY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
SHE SAYS I'M NOT A REAL MAN
SHES GOT ME WORKIN OVER TIME
AND I DONT EVEN GET A

SMOKIN HALF OF SOMEBODY ELSES CIGARETTES
GOTTA PINCH OF REDMAN GOLD
ONE MORE SWIG OF PBR AND YOU KNOW THAT IT AINT COLD
A CUP OF RAMEN IN THE MICROWAVE AND THAT SURE IS GETTING OLD
IT'S THE DAY BEFORE PAYDAY MIGHT BE THE END OF THE WORLD I'M TOLD
