More Than Survival

It's been a long, long month of Mondays

Been about a year since Friday night

I don't care that it's just Wednesday

I'ma burn it down tonight

'Cause my mind needs a distraction

From this work that I must do

Bet my soul needs satisfactions

And I'm gonna damn right get it too

'Cause I got a little cash in my bank

Got a little nitro in my tank

Feeling like a small town, big tent revival

Gotta get a little white, little red

Little bit of good green in my head

'Cause a man needs more

More than just survival

We all getting by, by

Getting by, getting by

We all getting by

We ain't gettin' high

We all wondering why, why

Wondering why

Wondering why you dig until you die

Lord, what's it take to fly?

Well the wolves are at the front gate

And the snakes are in the grass

And the future's coming quick now

On that I'd bet my ass

And the only thing I'm working for right now

Is a little buzz

It ain't the overtime or the peace of mind

I'm doing it just because

Got a little cash in my bank

Got a little nitro in my tank

Feeling like a small town, big tent revival

Gotta get a little white, little red

Little bit of good green in my head

'Cause a man needs more

More than just survival

We all getting by, by

Getting by, getting by

We all getting by

We ain't gettin' high

We all wondering why, why

Wondering why

Wondering why you dig until you die

Lord, what's it take to fly?

Got a little cash in my bank

Got a little nitro in my tank

Feeling like a small town, big tent revival

Gotta get a little white, little red

Little bit of good green in my head

'Cause a man needs more

More than just survival, ya'll

Getting by, by

Getting by, getting by

We all getting by

We ain't gettin' high

We all wondering why, why

Wondering why

Wondering why you dig until you die

Lord, what's it take to fly?

Want little more than just survival
