Ballad of a Pauper
And for the first time I'm grateful our government Doesn't use our tax money To fix Maryland's shitty roads The bumpiness of the road Is the only thing hiding my trembling And I'm not crying now It's just the heater drying my eyes out You say you're a bad role model But you never really were That I'm not your therapist, I shouldn't be It's hard to balance me and your wife You should've done better as a father It's not your fault you forgot my birthday You wish it was different Now you shouldn't be telling me this But you want to anyway The only time I've ever watched The sunrise with you When the sun reminds you only Of how much time you've wasted And what you can never get back With me You asked what I think of you I say nothing Try to enjoy the ride Because you don't know if I'll be back Honestly, neither do I Cry about your unstable life How it used to be so simple But for now, I'll just enjoy the ride
