I need money,
I had me some.
Payed all my bills,
and now they're gone.

Same BS story every time.
Say, why can't I have money
that are all mine o' mine?

Do I have to dish out,
and keep giving away?
Where is that winning lottery ticket?
Oh, please say!

I need eating and leisure to.
So tell me how,
now won't you?

If I send up a prayer
high in the sky.
Will my knee bending efforts
still keep me shy?

If I roll up my sleeves,
dig in on an extra shift or two.
Is that enough to
see me through?

But what of them raised
day care bills?
They're gonna push me straight
out of 'the hills'.

I wish I had a grandma livin'
at home.
Cause if I did then all my money
wouldn't be gone.

She could take care of my kids
while I work an hour or two.
Now that would be enough
to see both my money and my kids through.
