Cost of Being Me
I'd spend the last dime I've got left
On a pack of cheap ass cigarettes
I'll buy a round for any one I can get
To buy my bullshit
Sitting next to my momma there in her church
All hungover with a wrinkled shirt
Thanking God in that pew
Momma didn't know what Jesus knew
I drink my whiskey from the well
My soul's for rent but ain't for sale
I've had my daddy pay my bail
That kind of hell just don't come cheap
If I had half of what I lost
I've paid a lot for being free
Yeah that's the cost of being me
I quit a job that worked me pretty hard
Put a little down on a bad ass, piece-of-shit car
I haven't driven in a while
But if you're going nowhere you go in style
Spent the rest of what I got
On a girl that I didn't need
Just like that car up on blocks
She wasn't built to last
She was built for speed
I drink my whiskey from the well
My soul's for rent but ain't for sale
I've had my daddy pay my bail
That kind of hell just don't come cheap
If I had half of what I lost
I've paid a lot for being free
Yeah that's the cost of being me
20 in a lottery ticket
A dollar in a beggar's pale
A quarter on a heart broke Haggard song
A penny in a wishing well
I drink my whiskey from the well
My soul's for rent but ain't for sale
I've had my daddy pay my bail
That kind of hell just don't come cheap
If I had half of what I lost
I've paid a lot for being free
Yeah that's the cost of being me
I'd spend the last dime I've got left
On a pack of cheap ass cigarettes
I'll buy a round for any one I can get
To buy my bullshit
On a pack of cheap ass cigarettes
I'll buy a round for any one I can get
To buy my bullshit
Sitting next to my momma there in her church
All hungover with a wrinkled shirt
Thanking God in that pew
Momma didn't know what Jesus knew
I drink my whiskey from the well
My soul's for rent but ain't for sale
I've had my daddy pay my bail
That kind of hell just don't come cheap
If I had half of what I lost

I'll buy a round for any one I can get
To buy my bullshit
