about

featuring Travis Collins (upright bass)

lyrics

I make my living as a middleman
I’ll get you just what you need fast as I can
But don’t worry about me
Although my love is free, I’ll make it by somehow

God as my witness, I’m a businessman
Selling my goods to own
Taking discretion for a helping hand
They know my winning move before it’s shown

To justify my worth, I hang my shackles on the wall
Forgive myself for wasting all my time
Don’t testify against me
Nothing’s promised or foreseen
What I really say is never what I mean

Don’t take my word, just take my heard earned cash
I’ll turn it into something used
Before you know it I’m weighed down my debt
But it doesn’t mean I’m letting up real soon

To justify my worth, I hang my shackles on the wall
Forgive myself for wasting all my time
Don’t testify against me
Nothing’s promised or foreseen
What I really say is never what I mean

I’ll tip my hat to you as you walk on by
Waiting for nickels and for dimes
And when I’m laid to rest, they’ll put your love to the test
Cause you’re the one who’s paying all my fines

To justify my worth, I hang my shackles on the wall
Forgive myself for wasting all my time
Don’t testify against me
Nothing’s promised or foreseen
What I really say is never what I mean
