six dollar check - josiah and the bonnevilles lyrics

when i was a young man many years ago
i signed my name on the dotted line
it was a five album deal
i figured my fate was sealed
it turns out i only got one try

and although i left them deep in debt
every now and then i get a little check
usually i don’t pay it any mind
oh but right now times are hard
so i sit out in my car
and wait for the mailman to come by

and i got a six dollar check from warner brothers
i will take you down to the bar on the corner
where the, where the whiskey is jim beam
i got enough to cover my friend and me
that’s how i spend my six dollar check

now people started noticing the good mood i was in
and all of the sudden i found myself a few new friends
and i just kept wishing that that check had been for ten
i was getting thirsty talking to them
later when i went home, i took a look in the fridge
and all of the sudden i had myself a different wish
i should have bought a loaf of bread instead of those shots of gin
that’s okay, i always wanted to be thin
and i got a six dollar check from warner brother’s
i will take you down to the bar on the corner
where the, where the whiskey is jim beam
i got enough to cover my friend and me
that’s how i spend my six dollar check
alright

now i’m not sure if anybody works there anymore
they’ve got a lister(?) at the door but he’s just for show
oh and if there’s anybody left
i’m pretty sure they do regret
letting this cowboy go

and i got a six dollar check from warner brother’s
i will take you down to the bar on the corner
where the, where the whiskey is jim beam
i got enough to cover my friend and me
that’s how i spend my six dollar check
