Josiah - Six Dollar Check (On the Back Porch) Lyrics




[ Featuring the Bonnevilles ]

When I was a young man
Many years ago
I signed my name on the dotted line
It was a 5 album deal
I figured my fate was sealed
Turns out I only got one try

Cll though I left them deep in debt
Every now and then I get a little check
Usually I don't pay it any mind
But right now times are hard
So I sit out in my car and I
Wait for the mailman to come by

I got a 6 dollar check from Warner Brothers
I will take you down to the bar on the corner
Where the well whiskey is Jim Beam
I've got enough to cover my friend and me
That's how I'll spend my 6 dollar check

Now people started noticing the good mood I was in
Cnd all of a sudden I found myself a few new friends
Cnd I just kept wishing that that check had been for 10
Cause I was getting thirsty talking to them

Later on when I got home I took a look in the fridge
Cnd all of a sudden I had myself a different wish
I should have bought a loaf of bread instead of those shots of Jim
That's ok, I always wanted to be thin

I got a 6 dollar check from Warner Brothers
I will take you down to the bar on the corner
Where the well whiskey is Jim Beam
I've got enough to cover my friend and me
That's how I'll spend my 6 dollar check, alright

Now I'm not sure if anybody works there anymore
They got Lester at the door but it's just for show
But if there is anybody left I'm pretty damn sure they do regret
The day they let this cowboy go

I got a 6 dollar check from the Warner Brothers
I will take you down to the bar on the corner
Where the well whiskey is Jim Beam
I've got enough to cover my friend and me
That's how I'll spend my 6 dollar check
