Turnpike Troubadours - Pay No Rent lyrics

[Verse 1] I hear the clicking of the dominoes You shaking up a game And if we lose a hand I bet I'll know just who's to blame But if we hear 21 If we make that call I better sit here in my chair just feeling ten feet tall [Verse 2] And we're caught up in the riff-raff Circling 'round the sun It takes a lot of blood and tears just to really love someone But when it comes back around That's heaven on earth You never know till the end my friend What your love is really worth [Chorus] Are you cracking jokes with the common folks? Are you serving to the well-to-do? I traveled round and I ain't found nobody quite like you And is all this living meant to be or a happy accident? But in my heart you pay no rent Well in my heart you pay no rent [Verse 3] I hear the crackle of a campfire You're howling at the moon We all know that you gotta go but does it have to be so soon Bet somebody' yelling last call I hope you get some rest I hope you found everything that you wanted In the place you love the best [Chorus] Are you cracking jokes with the common folks? Are you serving to the well-to-do? I traveled round and I ain't found nobody quite like you And is all this living meant to be or a happy accident? But in my heart you pay no rent Well in my heart you pay no rent [Instrumental] [Verse 4] Now we're shaking up the dominoes Beneath the neon light Knowing anybody else out there couldn't put up a better fight But the fighting time's over And it's all gone You pick up the pieces and we try to carry on [Chorus] Are you cracking jokes with the common folks? Are you serving to the well-to-do? Well I traveled round and I ain't found nobody quite like you And is all this living meant to be or a happy accident? But in my heart you pay no rent Don't cost you nothing not a single cent Time together well was time well spent In my heart you pay no rent In my heart you pay no rent
