I was way too far out in the world

                          Dm7
But I still put on for my city
I was handing out too much milk money Too much kitten and ass and titties
F                          Em
 I lost my voice like a pastor
Faster than a Harlem shimmy
Dm7
   But I guess that's what you get
For trying to make heartbreak pretty
F                 Em
They say life's a bitch (Life's a bitch) and then you die

Dm7
   So please, if you're penning my eulogy, just say I tried

F                   Em
 And that's word to Phineas, Jess' and Si'

Dm7
   And if I don't wake up in Heaven

                              F                Em
Then it was one hell of a ride (Hell of a ride)

   If I don't wake up in Heaven

                               F Em

Momma said money can't buy me happiness

              Dm7
So I copped a G5
Tried to fly myself up next to it
                 F
I fucked up some commas

                Em
Just to dot-dot-dot
Where's the rest of it?
                Dm7
This what clean look like
When clean took life and made a mess of it
                        F
Had to realize I'm just blessed to it

          Em
You can't take it all with you

                         Dm7
But you can remember the best of it
I pray for peace within myself
              F
And no more regrets with it

              Em
'Cause when I looked at my soul in the Mississippi

     Dm7
It reflected it
And if you know me, you're right next to it N.C. I'm everything you thought I was N.C. I'm everything I thought I was N.C. It was everything I thought it was N.C. It was everything I thought it was
