Spending My Inheritance Lyrics

Spending My Inheritance lyrics

I was just a young boy, barely 17

 A regular poster child for the american dream

 I spent some time in college, tried to learn that system well

 Left a problem drinker and cynical as hell

 

 Chorus

 

 They say there's two kinds of people

 Those who have and those who don't

 Some of us will benefit

 And there's some of us that won't

 

 Some people spend a lifetime

 Trying to get over that fence

 But i'm just on the corner

 Spending my inheritance

 

 I guess old father time's put on one hell of a show

 'cause the older that i get it seems the less i know

 I found the road to riches was just a private drive

 Owned by politicians waving from inside

 

 Chorus

 

 There's nothing wrong with me still i have to wonder why

 Another day, another family tree lifts it's branches to the sky

 

 Dined on good intentions, nearly starved to death

 I gave the world my last two cents and now i live on what is left

 There's never any medals, there isn't much reward

 You gotta find your peace of mind in what you can afford

 

 Chorus

 

 Well i'm back where i started, spending my inheritance
