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
