you couldn't pay me for the time that it took to write a check
to buy a babydoll for my girl
and I worked hard for every little bit I got
the things I got are gonna stay
and it's been flooding so hard on them company mines
that you know it's gonna flood someday
and you're gonna miss someone

rollin through the pages of my life
underneath your name where it's underlined
