Tim Angsten - Drinking My Base Pay Away Lyrics

The streets are so damn quite
Band is playing too loud
Bartenders staring at her iPhone
Telling us to turn it down

It's 10 am in the morning
Ears ringing as my head pounds
Cause I stayed up all last night
Playing to a Carolina crowd

Hey yeah
I hear the spirits calling my name
Hey yeah
So I tip one back again
I ain't adding a cent to my 401K
Gotta lie to my folks say I'm doing ok
Hoping just to make it one more day
Drinking my base pay away
Drinking my base pay away

In storms a bridal party
Screaming for Shania Twain
I'm singing man I feel like a women
As they're trying to rush the stage

I may not be playing the Opry
Still having a grand ole time
Livin' like Willy and Waylon
Just trying to make a dime

Hey yeah
I hear the spirits calling my name
Hey yeah
So I tip one back again
I ain't adding a cent to my 401K
Gotta lie to my folks say I'm doing ok
Hoping just to make it one more day
Drinking my base pay away
Drinking my base pay away

Hey yeah
I hear the spirits calling my name
Hey yeah
So I tip one back again
I ain't adding a cent to my 401K
Gotta split this old tip jug 5 ways
But a hell of a buzz makes a hell of a day
I'm drinking my base pay away
