Текст (слова) песни: C.W. Mccall - Livin` Within My Means
(Ron Agnew)
Well, I was a poor boy Just a-kickin` around Eighteen, with a head full a` dreams Took some money back then Did a year in the pen For not livin` within my means
I worked ev`ry day I did my time the hard way I walked out a` that place feelin` clean I got a job, a guitar I bought an old beat-up car Started livin` within my means
Fell in love with a beautiful lady, of sorts But she was ruthless, restless, and mean She left me one day And now I`ve had to pay For not lovin` within my means
Then I took to drinkin` To drive her from my mind And it helps me forget her, it seems I just drink now and then Only now I`m drunk again For not drinkin` within my means
Now I know that I`m dyin` But I don`t worry none `Cause I know my soul He`ll redeem But what bothers me Unless they bury me free Is I won`t even die within my means
But when the dyin`s all over An` I come back again Say "to hell" with self-pride and esteem I`ll get born in my teens An` I`ll stick to my dreams Try dreamin` within my means
