My Own Place

歌詞

I want a vintage bathtub with a circular curtain rod Make it porcelain with brass claw feet I want a shower that gushes a toilet that flushes And I think I need a sink that doesn't leak I want central air and central heat In a good neighborhood on a good lil' street Don't want no crack in my foundation or my neighbors doin' crack Make it everything I have and everything I lack When this whole world is in my face I wanna shut the door and hide in my own place I want instant credit give it to me honey How am I gunna get it if you don't loan me the money How am I gunna get it my american dream If you give me the ice and you keep the cream Your concrete world has gotta cut me some slack I gotta climb out from between the cracks With your interest rates this high high high How am I ever gunna own what I buy I want kitchen tile and hardwood floors A brand new roof and a wrap around porch I want a wooden deck underneath some trees On a hill with a view I wanna do what I please Your concrete world has gotta rise from the dead I gotta wake up in my own place in my own bed With all the doors unlocked with all the windows open With not a not a care not a not a care Not a not a care inside of my head Oh here I am you have to have been here to understand You have to have been here and done this to see That I need a payday I need a windfall I need to get the key to My own place my own place I wanna shut the door and hide In my own place
