Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I need a cheeseburger to go
[Verse 2]
I move from one place to the next
I hope they keep down the price of gas
I shoot the best, oh you talking dollars?
See how I will run the table
I won't see my daughter go with a Red!
High numbers, low numbers, 8 ball break
[Verse 3]
The loss in his heart and not his head
To be on his own, no longer his own (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
In all this change he's sure of the right
The old country's in the back of his mind
A home is only somewhere you go to sleep
High numbers, low numbers, 8 ball break
[Verse 4]
No classes in the U S of A
Improve yourself! The choice is yours!
Work at your job! You can make it pay! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Make friends quick! Buy them a beer! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You never know when you're gonna lose them!
High numbers, low numbers, 8 ball break
[Verse 5]
I'm at the wheel of the company truck
On the road and all alone
Sometimes I think
Money is my only goal
It makes me sad
Food coming up
Another four miles
Coffee
Fries
And a cheeseburger
