Stimulus Check

(album: American Savage - 2021)

Found a stimulus check in my mailbox
I stared at it for a minute or two
I could pay down some bills
I could fix my truck
Or patch up that hole in the roof
But the next piece of mail
Under that check was a Bass Pro catalog
Had pictures of rifles and big shotguns
I put it back in my pocket
And I hit that road

Did they really think we'd spend it on the grocery store? Hell naw
I can live on ravioli, man I getting a brand new gun
I've been down but I ain't been out
That grave ain't got me yet
I'm gonna raise all kind of hell
With my stimulus check
Stimulus check

Well the banker shelled out $1200 bucks
He put it in a white envelope
I bought a tank of gas, a Monster
Then two cans of Wintergreen Skoal
With cash in my pocket
A hole in my wallet
And a big smile on my face
My roof might leak, my truck might break
But hold on Remington I'm on my way

Did they really think we'd spend it on the grocery store? Hell naw
I can live on ravioli, man I getting a brand new gun
I've been down but I ain't been out
That grave ain't got me yet
I'm gonna raise all kind of hell
With my stimulus check
Stimulus check

And I can fish and hunt for food if we go off the grid
If there's still extra money I'll put cold beer back in the fridge

Did they really think we'd spend it on the grocery store? Hell naw
I can live on ravioli, man I getting a brand new gun
I've been down but I ain't been out
That grave ain't got me yet
I'm gonna raise all kind of hell
With my stimulus check
Yeah, my stimulus check
