Lyrics
Another day on the road
Being on tour again.
Got a thousand miles to go
Having a long distance yet to cover.
Into another show
Heading to another performance.
Into a town that we don't know
Going to a new town.
I probably should have stayed in school
Regret about not pursuing education.
But I'm here just like a fool
Feeling foolish for the choices made.
Bangin' on a cheap guitar
Playing a low-quality guitar.
Trying to catch a shooting star
Aspiring for an improbable success.
I've got a pocket full of change
Holding onto small change despite a stagnant situation.
But everything's the same
Life remains monotonous despite the change.
A man can go insane trying to make it in this game
Struggling in an industry that challenges sanity.
I've got a pocket full of change
Reiterating the possession of small change.
Well now the show flies by
Time passing swiftly during performances.
And I feel like I could die
Feeling exhausted and drained.
But sweating blood and beer won't stop this ringing in my ear
Physical exhaustion doesn't alleviate mental stress.
There's this girl from out of town
Encounter with someone interested romantically.
Says she wants to lay me down
Expressing desire for intimacy.
And treat me like a king
Desire for special treatment.
Check it, see if she's 18
Checking if the person is of legal age.
I've got a pocket full of change
Repetition of having small change despite the circumstances.
But everything's the same
Stagnation despite the possession of change.
A man can go insane trying to make it in this game
Struggling to succeed in a challenging environment.
I've got a pocket full of change
Reiterating the possession of small change.
And in the morning it's the same old thing
Dealing with a repetitive routine.
An ounce of pleasure to get over a pound of pain
Finding brief enjoyment to cope with substantial pain.
Well thank you ma'am
Expressing gratitude after a romantic encounter.
I hope I see you soon
Hope for future meetings despite uncertainty.
I think that maybe we'll be back here again in June
Speculation about a return visit in the future.
And after every show we play
Receiving feedback after performances.
The people stop and say
Curiosity about lack of mainstream recognition.
The thing they want to know
Questioning absence from mainstream media.
Why ain't ya on the radio
Wondering about industry acceptance.
Because the man in Hollywood
Blaming industry standards for lack of recognition.
Says that we ain't any good
Perceived rejection by the industry.
And won't give us any money
Financial denial due to uniqueness.
Cause we play and talk funny
Being distinct in style and speech.
I've got a pocket full of change
Reiterating possession of small change and stagnant situation.
And everything's the same
Stagnation despite the possession of change.
A man can go insane trying to make it in this game
Struggle to succeed in an industry causing frustration.
I've got a pocket full of change (4x)
Repetition emphasizing possession of small change.
