paroles de chanson Paid by the Mile - Sam Morrow

If I only had a dime for every lie on my face
I'd buy a drink for every fool in this place
Giving you my two cents
Take it all that I've been through
Can you dig it or leave it?
Can you tell me what to do?

I'll take my time, I'm goin' south
Cause I only got paid by the mile

Said if I had a nickel for every song I tried to write
I'd cut a cheque to every underdog who stays in the fight
Yeah the one thing that I know, I'm hungry every night
It ain't dawn till it's over, it ain't over till it's right

Well I take my time, well I'm goin' south
Cause I only got paid by the mile

Every night, every show
Every dream, comes and goes
Every trouble, I just smile
If I only got paid by the mile
If I only got paid by the mile

If I had a silver dollar for each night I could not sleep
I'd pay the tab of every man that's ever had to face the beat
Yeah if you ain't got the hook, we'll string you up like bee
Those miles keep on coming, life don't stop and weep

Well I take my time, well I'm goin' south
Cause I only got paid by the mile
Well I take my time, well I'm goin' south
If I only got paid by the, I only got paid by the mile!
