No Money Blues

🎵 No Money Blues

Verse 1
Got a hole in my pocket
Sun on my face
Walking downtown
Like I own the place

Shoes worn thin
But my step is light
Living like a king
On a Saturday night

Pre-Chorus
No silver
No gold
But I don’t do
What I’m told

Chorus
Living the high life
No money at all
Laughing like I’m ten feet tall
Cheap coffee
Neon glow
Nowhere rich
But I go

Living the high life
Watch me shine
Nothing in my hands — still mine

Verse 2
Window shopping dreams
Cadillac chrome
Smile at the things
I’ll never own

Jukebox playing
My favorite song
If rich is a feeling
I’ve been rich all along

Pre-Chorus
Empty wallet
Open sky
That’s enough
For a guy

Chorus
Living the high life
No money at all
Laughing like I’m ten feet tall
Cheap coffee
Neon glow
Nowhere rich
But I go

Living the high life
Watch me shine
Nothing in my hands — still mine

Bridge (60s uplift moment)
Someday maybe
Big front door
But tonight I don’t need more

Got the streetlights
Got the sound
Got my feet on holy ground

Final Chorus (lift)
Living the high life
No money at all
World feels big
And I feel tall
No diamonds
No car
Still a shining
Little star

Living the high life
Can’t you see
Poor in cash
But rich in me
