Spending My Inheritance lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Spending My Inheritance lyrics I was just a young boy, barely 17 A regular poster child for the American dream I spent some time in college, tried to learn that system well Left a problem drinker and cynical as hell CHORUS They say there s two kinds of people Those who have and those who don t Some of us will benefit And there s some of us that won t Some people spend a lifetime Trying to get over that fence But I m just on the corner Spending my inheritance I guess Old Father Time s put on one hell of a show Cause the older that I get it seems the less I know I found the road to riches was just a private drive Owned by politicians waving from inside CHORUS There s nothing wrong with me still I have to wonder why Another day, another family tree lifts it s branches to the sky Dined on good intentions, nearly starved to death I gave the world my last two cents and now I live on what is left There s never any medals, there isn t much reward You gotta find your peace of mind in what you can afford CHORUS Well I m back where I started, spending my inheritance song lyrics
