Cheap Wine by Tom Thum Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 2014

[Verse 1]
I did not recognise my own face this morning
I guess I'm finally coming of age
I guess I've got to grieve
And just face this morning
For the death of my younger days
Still there's cigarette burns on my carpet
Coffee stains in my sink
There's liquor pour'n all through my floors
But there's not a damn drop to drink
Sixty dollars in my pocket sixty-thousand fans
And the corporates tell me that my job is lucky
Like I kick back and it fell in my hands

[Hook]
Looking back what I could've seen
What I could've said and I could've been
Five car garage and a law degree
Some self esteem, someone else's dream
But I ain't got no plan-b
And I never bite thata hand thata feeds
So whatever life hands me
I just hope to God my plan succeeds
[Verse 2]
Cheap wine keeps me humble
But my suitcase keeps me fed
I've left home a thousand times
But home's never left my head
And I can't see a month in advance
But my vision is a clear as day
So if I don't reach my destination
I know what I'm gonna say

[Hook]
Looking back what I could've seen
What I could have said or could've been
Five car garage and a law degree
Some self esteem, someone else's dream
But I ain't got no plan-b
And I never bite thata hand that feeds
So whatever life hands me
I just hope to God that my plan succeeds
I just hope to God that my plan succeeds.
