lyrics

Sanity ~ Dave Coleman / Jason Hitchcock

First of the month pay the rent
Write the check honey money's spent
Oh my my, being broke it’s braking me
I try to smile for a little bit of sanity

Driving the car that a bank really owns
To a job where work for hours on a phone
No sir I’m not a very good salesman you see
But, I try to smile for a little bit of sanity

Another seven days ‘til I get paid
Then some other chump
gonna come and take it all away

Lawd above where does it go
Did I ever have it honey I don’t know
Oh my my, being broke it’s braking me
I try to smile for a little bit of sanity

Middle of the month electric is due
Nothin’ much left for me and you
Oh sweet baby wonder why u don’t pack yo' things & leave
I try to smile for a little bit of sanity

Papa use to tell me living ain’t cheap
I guess I had to grow up and eventually see that
Barely getting by is killing me
I try to smile for a little bit of sanity
