Lyrics

Badlees, The Miscellaneous The Best Damn Things In Life Are Free (Alexander) Well i met her in college Hanging out at sigma chi Singing stoned and drunken versions Of american pie We picked up and married Soon as she got out of school I'd soon hit the big time Seemed like the thing to do I must have overlooked something ¡®cause i'm over my head But the best damn things in life are free And as long as i got your company That's what she said I'm not one for worrying ¡®bout dreams left unfulfilled But it's a long way to the ¡°garden¡± From the canton bar and grill And the wife's got a lifestyle That she's looking to maintain That these musicians wages Can't hope to sustain I'm running out of options I'm running out of time Just tell me how to make it pay If it takes me 27 hours a day I won't mind It's a matter of opinion Between right and wrong In you circles of distinction I can't last that long I know i'm not worth much To you financially But the best damn things in life are free Some read the wall street journal Some play the lottery Some invest in foreign lands That they have never seen Others roll the dice or spin the wheel Or play their hand Me, i learned to play guitar And joined a long haired band
