Minimum Wage

(album: Body Language - 2021)

Yeah, I met you 'fore anybody knew my name
Playing for pennies on a dive-bar stage
Split an All-Star Special on our first date
In a Waffle House booth

Your daddy was crying when he gave you away
'Cause all those country songs I played
They didn't come with a 401(K)
But hey, I had you

You can make a six-pack on the carpet
Taste like a million-dollar bill
You can make a one-bedroom apartment
Feel like a house up on the hill
You can make my truck out in the driveway
Roll like a cleaned-up Cadillac
Girl, looking at you looking at me that way
Can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

You could give me a tab that's always open
Or give me a yacht parked out in the ocean
But all that keeping up with the Joneses
It just ain't my style

Just give me some lights strung out in the yard
And give me a lawn chair under the stars
The top of the world's right where you are
'Cause every time you smile

You can make a six-pack on the carpet
Taste like a million-dollar bill
You can make a one-bedroom apartment
Feel like a house up on the hill
You can make my truck out in the driveway
Roll like a cleaned-up Cadillac
Girl, looking at you looking at me that way
Can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

You can make a six-pack on the carpet
Taste like a million-dollar bill
You can make a one-bedroom apartment
Feel like a house up on the hill
You can make my truck out in the driveway
Roll like a cleaned-up Cadillac
Girl, looking at you looking at me that way
Can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage

Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Girl, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
