I've blown a lot of money in my life and time On pretty girls and lawyer fees and beer My truck ain't repo'd yet and my whistles staying wet All my friends they see me spending But my checks don't ever clear because I'm broke, I'm broke I said bein' alive, it ain't no joke Lord knows my wallet's getting pretty thin I'm broke, I'm broke I got just enough for snuff and smokes And a 12 pack till I'm back on top again My broke status don't preclude me from establishments like this And if you're like me you'd probably do the same See I ain't afraid to pay for drinks with quarters Dimes and nickels if I have to, Is that what Obama meant by change? I'm broke, I'm broke I said bein' alive, it ain't no joke Lord knows my wallet's getting pretty thin I'm broke, I'm broke I got just enough for snuff and smokes And a 12 pack till I'm back on top again I'm hoping this economy ain't always gonna suck And I'm looking for my little bit of luck So if you see me on the highway with my thumb out It wouldn't hurt my feelings, if you went ahead and picked me up 'Cause I'm broke, I'm broke I said bein' alive, it ain't no joke Lord knows my wallet's getting pretty thin I'm broke, I'm broke I got just enough for snuff and smokes And a 12 pack till I'm back on top again And a 12 pack till I'm back on top again
