I'm up every morning before
the sunshine comes rolling in
And that rooster starts crowing
and that reminds me that I need to feed him
And everydays the same but everydays different
And everyday I go deeper in debt

And you can't cash my checks
And you can't feel this hunger
You can push me into the water
But you can't hold me under
You can bring me down
But you can't make me beg
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks

Its so hard to stay honest in a
world thats headed to hell
You can't make a good living
these days cause the fruit just won't sell
So if you go out my back door just over the hill
You'll see all these plans thats been paying my bills

But you can't cash my checks
And you can't feel this hunger
You can push me into the water
But you can't hold me under
You can bring me down
But you can't make me beg
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks

You can bring me down
But you can't make me beg
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks

You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks
