Welfare Chet by Joshua Ray Walker Lyrics
[Chorus 1]
Everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
Is it 'cause I live in my truck?
I'm down on my luck?
Or sometimes I smell like green?
I ain't got a dime
But what I got is mine
Ever since the state let me free
Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
[Verse]
Every time you say you gotta go
I want to talk a little longer
Even when you're walking to your ride
I come on a little stronger
Asking if you want to take a shot
But you end up buying my beer
Talking with a mouthful of food
But they don't serve food hеre
[Chorus 2]
Yeah, evеrybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
Is it 'cause my welfare checks
Pay for motel room sex?
And I lie about being clean?
Well, folks disagree
But they don't have the key
It's my L-I-F-E
Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 1]
Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
Is it 'cause I live in my truck?
I'm down on my luck?
Or sometimes I smell like green?
I ain't got a dime
But what I got is mine
Ever since the state let me free
Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
[Outro]
Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
Everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
Is it 'cause I live in my truck?
I'm down on my luck?
Or sometimes I smell like green?
I ain't got a dime
But what I got is mine
Ever since the state let me free
Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
[Verse]
Every time you say you gotta go
I want to talk a little longer
Even when you're walking to your ride
I come on a little stronger
Asking if you want to take a shot
But you end up buying my beer
Talking with a mouthful of food
But they don't serve food hеre
[Chorus 2]
Yeah, evеrybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
Is it 'cause my welfare checks
Pay for motel room sex?
And I lie about being clean?
Well, folks disagree
But they don't have the key
It's my L-I-F-E
Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 1]
Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
Is it 'cause I live in my truck?
I'm down on my luck?
Or sometimes I smell like green?
I ain't got a dime
But what I got is mine
Ever since the state let me free
Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
[Outro]
Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
