the honest heart collective – debts lyrics
[verse 1]
i lost my job today at the rail yard
hours were cut, so i was cut, too
first in, last out, last call, and self-doubt
if only there were more that i could do
see, i’ve flipped through the newspaper cl-ssifieds
but every listing says “diploma required”
see, i failed, i tried; i got drunk to p-ss time
perhaps a sober state of mind would follow through
[chorus]
and so what if i’m scared of dying alone?
[verse 2]
i always thought i’d grow up to get my daddy’s job
but they cut him loose when a machine took it on
as i say, as i do, one drink, then a few
i watched him slip away back then
and that’s just what i lived up to
these debts grow taller than me
[chorus]
and so what if i’m scared of dying alone
in an unmarked grave?
and honestly, i swear that i’ll never know
if i can pay back the debts i owe
[bridge]
first in, last out
it’s what this life’s all about
who you are, who you know
what you’ve done, how you grow
[chorus]
and so what if i’m scared of dying alone
in an unmarked grave?
and honestly, i swear that i’ll never know
at least i tried to pay back the debts i owe
