lyrics

I ain't the type of guy to say "it is what it is"
When I take off running, lord I'm bound to trip
I ain't never been good about asking for a helping hand
And I'm always the first to let the worms out of my can

They tell me to pull myself up but my arms don't seem to wanna work
Like a big ol' stack of pancakes but I ain't got no syrup
It's why I got fired from every job I ever had
One too many fivers on hundred dollar tabs

So you found a new you for a pretty good price
I'll keep my money for the doctor and just pray I ain't dying
I'm plowing by hand the entire damn farm
I ain't going nowhere and you're welcome to come along

I'm riding that line between sarcastic and sadistic
Basing my life on unbiased statistics
Lessons from my elders and scoffs by my peers
But ain't neither one could tell me what the hell we are doing here

So you found a new you for a pretty good price
I'll keep my money for the doctor and just pray I'm not dying
I'm plowing by hand this entire damn farm
I ain't going nowhere and you're welcome to tag along
