lyrics

WESTNEDGE HILLBILLIES

And I ain’t gonna work for the man no more
My baby finished college so we won’t be too poor
And creative leanings bleeding down to my core
But dreams don’t pay the bills, no
Dreams don’t pay no bills
So I’ll craft you some cabinets or I’ll trade you an egg
Or I’ll boil up some syrup or I’ll brew up a keg
Teach all the children ’bout the Corporal Clegg
He had a wooden leg, y’all
I wish I had a wooden leg
’Cause I, I had to turn away
I think I got something more to say
Though I won’t sing it from the streets
I like to always know there’s always something here I like to eat
I got a thousand ideas, just a tenth of the time
And I ain’t gonna waste it on no company’s dime
Noose round my neck with a Windsor design
I will sell my friends my skills, lord
I’ll sell my friends my skills
And we’ll prove our independence when our handshakes agree
I will tattoo your shoulder if you chainsaw my tree
Smile through our beards and drink our sweet herbal tea
And await our opportunity
I am owed an opportunity
And I, I have to stay awake
That life, it was more than I could take
I scratched out just a little space to breathe
Supplemental income is the only thing I really need
