Shoebox Money

Well I started off early I was cutting grass
I was throwing suds on my neighbors Cadillac
Dinnertime came and I was hauling scrap
Bout dead tired by the time I got back
Had a couple fresh 20s burning holes in my pockets
I threw em in the closet in an old shoebox

It didn't have much in it
But it did me better than the shoes in em
I'd pinch them pennies all summer long
Then one day they'd all be gone
I'd save up a bunch of twenties, tens, and fives
Then I'd blow it all at one time
Nah I didn't have to need it, I got it if I wanted
Spending every bit of that shoebox money

Well a few years later, as the story goes
I heard a something playing on the radio
It made me wanna go and buy a microphone
I sat down and wrote my first country song
I didn't really need to think too much about it
Just went to the closet and pulled the shoebox down

It didn't have much in it
But it did me better than the shoes in em
I'd pinch them pennies all summer long
Then one day they'd all be gone
I'd save up a bunch of twenties, tens, and fives
Then I'd blow it all at one time
Nah I didn't have to need it, I got it if I wanted
Spending every bit of that shoebox money

Nah I didn't have to need it, I got it if I wanted
All day Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Living like I'm big boss, Rick Ross hustling
Spending every bit of that shoebox money

It didn't have much in it
But it did me better than the shoes in em
I'd pinch them pennies all summer long
Then one day they'd all be gone
I'd save up a bunch of twenties, tens, and fives
Then I'd blow it all at one time
Nah I didn't have to need it, I got it if I wanted
All day friday, saturday, sunday
Living like I'm big boss, Rick Ross hustling
Spending every bit of that shoebox money
