eli conley - what i'm worth lyrics

[verse 1]
i bus the tables at sam’s pizza place
sometimes your kids ask when they see my face
“are you a girl, are you a boy?”
wish that i could say, “why, yes i am”
“matter of fact, i am a happy man”
but i don’t know what my boss would say if he found out
don’t think you’ve met another man like me
maybe you’ve seen a couple on tv
we all have to fight
for you to take us seriously

[chorus]
i got a name, it’s not the one they gave at birth
i got a name, don’t try to tell me what i’m worth

[verse 2]
stay in my room sometimes on sat+rdays
lie alone behind the lowered shades
read my novels, smoke cigarettes and stare out into sp+ce
i got a little dream i’ll chase someday
drive out to houston, some place far away
and n0body there will know who i used to be

[chorus]
i got a name, it’s not the one they gave at birth
i got a name, don’t try to tell me what i’m worth
[verse 3]
each day i wake up and i’m still right here
using the same d+mn license to buy beer
’cause it’s nine hundred dollars to change your name in doylestown
but i am the man that i was meant to be
i think it’s time that you caught up to me
i won’t change myself because you dislike what you see

[chorus]
i got a name, it’s not the one they gave at birth
i got a name, don’t try to tell me what i’m worth
i got a name, it’s not the one they gave at birth
i got a name, don’t try to tell me what i’m worth
