That And $20

Grasshopper’s sitting on a sweet potato’s back

Ant beds are buzzing in the pavement’s crack

She left me like a penny on an a train track

Far from home alone and broke flat

I guess I was wrong but I sure got some songs

That and 20 dollars’ll get you fat

Now I’m bound to roam like Julius Caesar

But if I could I would love to squeeze her

 I’m not a perv I just need a hobby

But she never wanted me to want her for her body

I guess I was wrong but I sure got some songs

That and 20 dollars’ll buy you coffee

  I just wanted love

I wasn’t asking for everything

At least that’s what I thought

When I went and bought that big ol’ diamond ring

You can still get a steak & a  date with a handful tulips

Come home drunk with a pie and a can of cool whip

How you gonna get it if you ain’t got the bread

With a cloud of tears hanging over your head

 I guess I was wrong but I sure got some songs

That and $20’ll get you fed

Plastic spoons’ll have to do for the shed

Hard life lessons learning to make up ya bed

That and 20 dollars’ll get ya fed
