One Down - Live at the 9:30 Club, Washington, DC - June 2002

I woke up and I drove to work on the wrong side of the road
And what the hell would I do? I must admit, I didn't know
And Andrew came along, y'all, to add a couple of lines or so
I've got one I finished yesterday and I've got 3.6 to go

One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm out of here
One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm out of here

People tell me, "Ben, just make up junk and turn it in"
But I never was alright with turning in a bunch of shit
I don't like wasting time on music that won't make me proud
But now, I've found a reason to sit right down and shit some out

One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm out of here
One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm out of here
Yeah, yeah

I love you more than any man has loved before
I love you more than all the stars up in the sky
I think that we should settle down and live happily forever-after
What do you think of that?

I'm really not complaining, I realize it's just a job
And I hate hearing belly-aching rockstars whine and sob
'Cause I could be bussing tables, I could well be pumping gas
But I get paid much finer for playing piano and kissing ass
This is one I wrote just an hour ago and 3.6 at last

One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm out of here
One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm out of here
One down and 3.6
One down and 3.6 tomorrow and I'm out of here
