Life Changing Money

(álbum: Spray Painted Line - 2022)

Fifteen same color as the grass
I was mowing just to save up cash
That summer I bet I cut close to a thousand acres
Started putting back twenties in a Red Wing box
Wanted that K5 sitting on the lot
Turned 16 had just enough to go there and sign the papers
To most it didn't sound like much
But to me back then it was

Life changing money
Just a few dollars and dimes
It ain't life changing money
But it damn sure changed mine
Cause just like that wasn't nothing the same
I was running them roads all over the place
With that hard earned, turn the page and everything in life changing money

Momma said I'd find one like her
Took a couple close calls and while to find her
They say when you know you know and there was no doubt about her
Two years later going store to store
To find one she'd like and one I could afford
That little bit of cash, I threw down on that glass counter was

Life changing money
Just a few dollars and dimes
It ain't life changing money
But it damn sure changed mine
Cause just like that wasn't nothing the same and
She was gonna have a new last name
With that hard earned, turn the page and everything in life changing money
Life changing money

I remember that morning one Sunday
First time I felt a little bit of faith
It wasn't them twenties in the plate
But what they meant to me that day

Was life changing money
Just a few dollars and dimes
It ain't life changing money
But it damn sure changed mine
Cause just like that wasn't nothing the same and
First time it felt good to give away
That hard earned, turn the page and everything in life changing money
It ain't life changing money
