LYRICS
Well, you try to tell me what is right
to help me make it through the
night
but when you try to tell me what to do
does it mean that you want me to be just like you?
CHORUS
Is that what you
want?
Is that what you wa-ant?
Is that what you want?
Is that what you wa-ant?
You say you want a brand new car
now
you want another/diamonds too
will you ever be satisfied?
you always need something new to
accrue
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Might not know what I say --or-- Listen, girl, to what I say
Can't believe it's gone
this way
A stitch in time saves nine, you see
No, it sounds like eight to me
CHORUS
Alternate verse either Travis or
Billy:
They say that you are sad inside
from the world's pain, no place to hide
We have the choice to turn around
face
ourselves, let joy resound
--OR--
You've been stashin' all your pay
You put it in the bank for a rainy day
But all
you do is work and save,
You're going to take that money to your grave
CHORUS
CODA (end jam)
Thanks to M@ Smith
for the submission of these lyrics as well as the alternate verses!
