LYRIC FOR SALE

By Chuck Casey

IT’S WHAT I GOT


I got a job at the local pain clinic
Where folks come in hurt and scared
We do our best to help them
‘Cause, Lord knows, it’s a mess out there

Chorus
The money’s not too bad
But the benefits ain’t so hot
Hey it’s not what I wanted
But it’s what I got

So I tried to get on “Drinking With The Stars”
Man, how I wanted to get hired
They said I looked like a natural
But my drinking left a lot to be desired

Chorus
So they kicked my butt off the show
Once I started doing shots
Hey it’s not what I wanted
But it’s what I got


Bridge
I know I’ve said this once before
I just keep on looking all around
I’ll always be searching for something more
So I keep reaching out for all things new
Don’t worry about the path I’m on
I just figure I’ll make it through

I had to hang with some of NY’s Weirdest
Though they’re really not my cup of tea
Now when folks start to talk of strange
They point their devices at me

Chorus
I still don’t have a clue
How I wound up in such a spot
Hey it’s not what I wanted
But it’s what I got

Got invited to a sit down with the local boys
It seems certain things weren’t getting done
You know the boys will always use words
Until they get restless and reach for their guns

Chorus
I said, fellas, is there some other way
And they said: There is not
Hey it’s not what I wanted
But it’s what I got
