lyrics

Payin' Dues

See my name on the flyer, for every show.
Itty bitty letters on the very bottom row.
I, I got nothin' to lose. Oh, Oh, lawdy mama I'm jus'a payin' my dues.

I coulda had a good woman but it was too hard to tell.
Before you get to heaven you got to go through hell.
I, I wound up lost and confused. Oh, Oh lawdy mama I'm a jus'a payin' my dues.

I got nothin' to show for my years on the road.
Jus' an aching' in my heart and no place to call home.
I, I got them wayward blues. Oh, oh, lawdy mama I'm jus'a payin' my dues.

I keep my two cents in the bottom of my boot.
When I went to use 'em lord I wore right through.
I, I still got nothin' to lose. Oh, oh lady mama I'm jus'a payin' my dues.

" Wittily crafted, downtempo western melodies, a cactus in the ass of modern, power-ballad country crooners that forgot the music of their grandfathers." -EXCLAIM! Magazine
