Somethin' For Nothin'

(álbum: The Country Truth - 2023)

I've always been a generous man
I'd give you the shirt off my back
I'd loan you my toolbox and my good fishing pole
I'd give you a ride in my old Cadillac
But there's only so far my patience will go
There's only so much I can stand
Of these lazy free loaders and soft tippy toers
Wanting something just to fall in their hands

Everybody wants something for nothing
Something for nothing from me
Everytime my phone rings it's just another ding a ling
Wanting something for nothing from me

Do unto others as you'd have them do
That's how the old good book reads
But lately their wanting more than I'm giving
And lately I'm giving 'em more than they need
Hey I've saved a whale bailed my brother outta jail
Kept a forest from getting chopped down
So I think it's funny how when I need somebody
There's never nobody around

Everybody wants something for nothing
Something for nothing from me
Everytime my phone rings it's just another ding a ling
Wanting something for nothing from me

Well
Everytime my phone rings it's just another ding a ling, a ling, a ling
Wanting something for nothing from me
Wanting something for nothing from me
