Just Enough to Lose - Original Song by Steven Morris
25Just Enough to Lose
Original Song by Steven Morris
Woke up today and realized
I’ve got just enough to lose
Blood in the river that runs through our town
but there’s only so much time in the evening news
My wife at home makes sure my collar’s bleached
And I wash my hands, though they don’t ever feel clean
I did my best in my college years
But yea, my daddy also happens to have a job here
I think about my old friends and can’t understand why
They won’t just grit their teeth and earn that nine-to-five
Back at home, I got those mouths to feed
I get just enough pay so that I’ll do what they tell me
Driving home with the sun in my eyes
I put on my sunglasses 'cause some things are just too bright
I’d do it again if I had the chance
I have more than I need and that helps me relax
I just crunch the numbers
My hands aren’t stained with blood
So don’t you try to tell me
That working hard for my family is wrong
Woke up today and realized
I’ve got just enough to lose
Don't it got you, too?
