If I didn't come home every day smelling like fried eggs If I didn't have those veins poppin' out all over my legs If I had my hair done up real nice, if I had some clothes that weren't too tight Would you still be comin' home drunk in the middle of the night? I believe it's all a joke but I don't think it's funny There's a man at table five and he's calling me honey Some people are born too late, some people are born too soon Some people are born to die chokin' on their silver spoon Maybe money can't buy everything It looks like I'm never gonna know for sure Maybe money can't buy happiness Well neither can just being poor Maybe money can't buy everything It looks like I'm never gonna know for sure Maybe money can't buy happiness Well neither can just being poor Some people are born with luck, some people are born without it Some people are born with faith, some are born to doubt it If I didn't go to bed afraid about some bills that'll never get paid I wouldn't be down at the laundromat watchin' my work clothes fade I wouldn't be down at the laundromat watchin' my work clothes fade
