about

An age-old story of an everyday American.

lyrics

Selling drugs out of mom’s house was getting old
Had to get out of there ‘fore I got busted
Was like a broken record listening to her scold
I was paranoid about friends I once trusted
Then you needed some weed and I helped you score
We met up in front of the dollar store

I miss you coming around
Even if all we do is fight
I'm sorry ‘bout what I said after the ultrasound
We both were a little uptight
Life without you was such a bore
Hanging out in front of the dollar store

Had to get my life together
Selling weed ain’t no job for a dad
And that other girl, you can forget her
Give you and baby the life I never had
Settling down just couldn’t be ignored
Got a job down at the dollar store

I hope this letter finds you well
And you and baby got everything you deserve
There’s so much I want to tell ‘ya
And I only got three more years to serve
Workin’ life was such a chore
I’m sorry that I robbed the dollar store
