Cost of Doing Business

He holds on to nothing ejected from the seat of his car A ten to one gamble when streets tend to ramble they run Moms begging you please begging you please come home He must of done something if sirens can talk they will take Guess you took the bait deaths reeling into your wake Sisters begging you please begging you please she waits He left me a dollar buried beneath the back deck He left with a holler he buried him under the wreck I put a dollar in my pocket for what it's worth On this foreclosed farmhouse where my family and friends once broke but happy Once broke but happy The woodpeckers came to peck on the seams of the house The vultures do dream that my brothers were killed with the crows in the cornfield It was more like a minefield the explosion of our mortgage payments When tax hits you hard we'll do desperate things we'll leave a mark It's the cost of doing business Once broke but happy I'm begging you please come home to daddy Come home to daddy
