C.w. Mccall - Livin' Within My Means Lyrics
(ron agnew)Well, I was a poor boyJust a-kickin aroundEighteen, with a head full a dreamsTook some money back thenDid a year in the penFor not livin within my meansI worked evry dayI did my time the hard wayI walked out a that place feelin cleanI got a job, a guitarI bought an old beat-up carStarted livin within my meansFell in love with a beautiful lady, of sortsBut she was ruthless, restless, and meanShe left me one dayAnd now Ive had to payFor not lovin within my meansThen I took to drinkinTo drive her from my mindAnd it helps me forget her, it seemsI just drink now and thenOnly now Im drunk againFor not drinkin within my meansNow I know that Im dyinBut I dont worry nonecause I know my soul hell redeemBut what bothers meUnless they bury me freeIs I wont even die within my meansBut when the dyins all overAn I come back againSay to hell with self-pride and esteemIll get born in my teensAn Ill stick to my dreamsTry dreamin within my means
