Lyrics

Yeah well there's something that I've been chasing with
Oh every little thing that I got
It is a dream I dream whenever I sleep
Only got my, my one shot
I wanna make music and I wanna use it to
Ease my mind
I wanna write the songs that talk about
The smaller parts of my life
Wanted to pour out my mouth into my microphone
But there's a monkey on my back he won't leave me alone
Oh there's a monkey on my back he won't leave me alone
And yeah he pulls out my wallet and he buys me my drinks
He laughs whenever I read my lyric sheets
Says I am one in a million, just some kid with a guitar
Playing for eight damn years just to be ignored
In the corner of an empty bar
So I said stop fuck you, you're just a little monkey
Better pack your things and be gone
I'm gonna tell you one time, this ain't no free ride
Get off my back and lay
Leave me alone, yeah
Better leave me alone
And yeah he laughed as he whispered into my ear
You're the only thing that's been keeping me here
I'm in the back of your mind, keeping you up at night
Only you can make the music and let in the light
I got a lopsided heart, it clings a broken B inside
And I make love similar to the way I sing and write
And if it don't sound right baby it's alright
You can find another way to get home tonight
So I said stop fuck you, you're just a little monkey
Better pack your things and be gone
I'm gonna tell you one time, this ain't no free ride
Get off my back and lay
Leave me alone, yeah
Better leave me alone
I said stop fuck you, you're just a little monkey
Better pack your things and be gone
I'm gonna tell you one time, this ain't no free ride
Get off my back and lay
Leave me alone, yeah
Better leave me alone
