Ridin' on the Rim

Verse 1:
Seven nights a week
Playin’ in this bar for barely nothin’
I got this old guitar
A nineteen-eighty beat up car that has trouble runnin’
And you’re askin’ how I’m doin’
Here let’s see why don’t you tell me

Chorus:
My bank account keeps runnin’ lower
Credit limit I’m way over
I just need a few more bucks and a little change of luck
I’m balancin’ on a wire
Man if my life was a tire
The rubber would be worn thin and I’d be ridin’ on the rim 

Verse 2:
My girlfriend
Finds a way to spend all my money
She doesn’t bring home a check
‘Cause shopping don’t pay the rent yeah she thinks that’s funny
And you’re askin’ how I’m doin’
Here let’s see why don’t you tell me 

Chorus:
My bank account keeps runnin’ lower
Credit limit I’m way over
I just need a few more bucks and a little change of luck
I’m balancin’ on a wire
Man if my life was a tire
The rubber would be worn thin and I’d be ridin’ on the rim 

Verse 3:
But the truth is
I’ve found happiness in this
I’m playin’ music every day
And I’m still findin’ ways to live
And that’s why I open my eyes
Smile and say, “just another day” 

Final Chorus:
With my bank account still runnin’ lower
Credit limit I’m way over
I just need a few more bucks and a little change of luck
I’m balancin’ on a wire
Man if my life was a tire
The rubber would be worn thin and I’d be ridin’ on the rim
