I need to make a little more money before I get sick

He laughed and asked me what I meant I said, "aren’t you afraid of it?"

And if you’re nice to me I’ll leave you more than my notes and my stash

On second thought maybe not the notes, I don’t want you to know me like that

Call it anything but fast

It’s a fault line that just won’t crack

I can see my life in 50 cents of gas

And that’s a fact

Call it anything but fast

Momma says I’m still a case but she still watches high school ball games

Then looks at me and wonders why I am this way

The mayor will write vote for me on the Methodist church marquee

When it should really read that they still use the offering to buy 'em new flat screen TVs

Call it anything but fast

It’s a fault line that just won’t crack

I can see my life in 50 cents of gas

And that’s a fact

Call it anything but fast

It’s the wondering why, being told to walk a straight a line

And finding enough peace to watch a cardinal fly

It’s the sitting upright pretending everything’s fine

These are the things that keep me up at night

I’d hop the train if I was fast

Change my name and never look back

Make it to California without a single anxiety attack

But why would I do that

Call me anything but fast
