Devil For A Dime Lyrics by Adam Calhoun
They got me sweating like the devil for a dime
Oh, I wish they’d let me be
Got to kill me, try to take what’s mine
Only God will let me rest in peace
The sun is up
I was wrong
Working till we dead just to find out every dollar’s gone
The sun is down
Something’s wrong
I’ve been dying just to make ends meet
712s, benefits
Don’t clock in if you can’t finish it
Callous hands, crow’s feet
Once was young
Look at the old me
And I can run this hard for a long ass time
Had a dollar and a dream, turned a nickel to a dime
I can never get ahead
It gets hard to survive
I’m just living off of coffee and shine
Work is hard
No one cares
Ain’t no help
You’re a man
No one’s there
They got me sweating like the devil for a dime
Oh, I wish they’d let me be
Got to kill me, try to take what’s mine
Only God will let me rest in peace
The sun is up
I was wrong
Working till we dead just to find out every dollar’s gone
The sun is down
Something’s wrong
I’ve been dying just to make ends meet
Throw on gloves, hard hat
In the back, I keep a ball bat
Underneath the seat, I got this thing that’ll take your soul
Lord knows I’m just tryin’ to make it home
God help me
And I can do this shit like it ain’t no thang
I’ve been working like a slave
All that’s missing is the chain
Keep on moving down the road till there’s nothing in the tank
And I’ma keep on digging till they put me in the grave
I’m singing on till they take me home
I’m singing on till they take me home
And I can run this hard for a long ass time
Had a dollar and a dream, turned a nickel to a
It gets hard to survive
I’m just living off of coffee and shine
They got me sweating like the devil for a dime
Oh, I wish they’d let me be
Got to kill me, try to take what’s mine
Only God will let me rest in peace
The sun is up
I was wrong
Working till we dead just to find out every dollar’s gone
The sun is down
Something’s wrong
I’ve been dying just to make ends meet
