Текст песни Josh Joplin - The World On A Shoestring

I am extraordinarily good at sleeping the day away
I thought with my experience I'd put it on my resume
So here I am unemployed again as broke as I can be
But all I need is this old guitar, an open case
And a crowded street

I've got the world on a shoestring
I've got the world on a shoestring

My head's as full as a Ryder truck double parked down the street
All the ideas I've packed away, stack up so nice and neat
But I didn't mark the boxes so don't know where anything is
Paper bags of random facts, taped up dates and laundry lists

I've got the world on a shoestring
I've got the world on a shoestring

If you ain't got money well that's alright honey
There's nothing that we need to do
We can be star crossed and get our selves lost
And walk down fifth avenue

You look so good in your brand new dress
But you look good all the time
I love the little pictures that you draw and leave for me to find
And if I had a big apartment I'd frame them on the wall
But what do I need with lots of space
I got rent control and you to call

I've got the world on a shoestring
I've got the world on a shoestring
