Josh Grider Band - Poorer Days Lyrics

i guess i feel like i should
ive played this game the best i could but i break down and
i get confused i feel bought but seldom used

runnin hard's gonna ruin me as i kill myself out here
i go the miles i smile the smiles
i shake the hands of those who just dont care

i guess i feel like i should
my poorer days are lookin good
when my dreams were in front of me
and id get to face reality
all the fact is life gets in the way
a 9 to 5 a wife and bills to pay sometimes i miss my poorer days

i had a band we weren't that good
we played for free everywhere we could
and i met the girl she was the one
'til she left me my heart all undone

it was six pack runs and springbreak flings
the speed limit signs didn't mean a thing
and time kept its steady rhythm movin' on and on

i guess i feel just like i should
my poorer days are lookin' good
when my dreams were in front of me and i get to face reality
but the fact is life gets in the way
a 9 to 5 a wife and bills to pay sometimes i miss my poorer days

i see a young mans days sitting in the sun
reckless fun those days are done
and lookin' back on my poorer days i find i was poor in so many ways

i lacked more than cash in hand it aint the money that makes the man
my bank account 'aint full but i found im rich beyond my dreams no the gold dont mean a thing

and i feel just like i should
my poorer days their gone for good
and my dreams are in front of me
just another day in my reality
when i take stock of this life i've made
i got a 9 to 5 a pretty wife and my bills are paid
baby i dont miss my poorer days

cause theres so much more than poorer days
