Upstart

Hard working man's got his hopes set high
The city pays him so the rich don't cry
His practice will settle and will keep the pockets full
But there in the end he never got used to it

Sometimes I feel like I want to die
Started up, I'm sure that I'll get used to anything but this

No the wedding season never really came to me
Should I hide and seek?
My mother taught me not to cheat
Would you shut him up?
Would you please shut up?
Cause I'm started up, I'm searching all of town for anything I missed

Now he's starting to get old and he's getting pretty tired
Only living his life on the sunny side
He's got a real sweet leg on a shoemaker's wife
But this money making mindset's put a thorn in his side

Sometimes I feel like I want to cry
Started up, not sure that I'll get used to anything like this

No the wedding season never really came to me
Should I hide and seek?
My brothers taught me how to cheat
Oh did I?
Would you shut him up?
Would you please shut up?
Cause I'm started up, I'm searching all of town for anything I missed

Says I miss those days when the going was easy
Got a soda in my hand and my pocketbook's empty
Says I want to go to heaven but I ain't in a hurry
Love to let in all the fools who know that God is my witness

Sometimes I feel I can't get started up
Left my heart in my stomach so I feel it every day

The wedding season never really came to me
Should I hide and seek?
My brothers taught me how to cheat

We are the fools that were running this town
Still let the sins of our dear heaven watch the walls falling down
Would you shut him up?
Would you please shut up?
Cause I'm started up, I'm searching all of town for anything I missed
