Lyrics

I've been wasting all my best days I've invested all my worst ways I've been thinking about all the things I should have never left behind Oughta be watching the children playing In the yard I never see I should be mowing today Instead, I'm searching for ways to say All the words I can't find Everybody's trying to be the next someone But look at me, I'm trying to be the first something Back when dollars made sense Had to keep the squirrels off the fence And shoes are coming loose on the fastest horse in town But that old horse just keeps on running And if he falls, they'll put him down Them men keeping him out on the track Running him ragged just to pile up the stacks Make it so he's all spent by the time he gets back Everybody's trying to be the next someone Look at me, I'm trying to be the first something Look at me, I'm trying to be the first something Everybody's trying to be the next someone Look at me, I'm trying to be the first something Look at me, I'm trying to be the first something Well, you know what I want? We need, we need a gift card for Are y'all listening to me? This is what I want I want a gift card from God He can keep it all I want a gift card from God
