Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I've never been too good to pick up a penny and lately I've been falling short of too damn many
Wife on my left and baby in my right, dogs at my feet begging for a bite
Empty pockets make sinners out of bona fide saints
Swore to my daddy I'd never tarnish his name
ย
Droughts have been long and the floods have been fierce
Ain't made a profit on the farm in near a dozen years
There's money all around eight thousand feet down
Be a few more months 'fore the drill can break ground
ย
So far behind, every loan is denied
And the bank has a mind to kick us out of here
I'd see this whole world ground down to sand
If I ever see the day that a suit takes my land
ย
I've got a pistol and some TNT
There's an armored truck on Tuesday that carries what I need
I'm not proud of this cliff I'm jumping
But I've got to make it through until the gas starts pumping
ย
I'll take it on the road where no one will see
I know the mountains better than a warrior Cherokee
I grew up with Tommy and he did right by me
I'll take the cash he's guarding by whatever means
ย
I've got a pistol and some TNT
There's an armored truck on Tuesday, carries what I need
I'm not proud of this cliff I'm jumping
But I've got to make it through until the gas starts pumping
ย
I hope Daddy's not looking down as I wait here for that truck
And if he is, I pray to God he sends a little luck
ย
I've never been too good to pick up a penny and lately I've been swimming in so damn many
Every check I receive comes at a high price, sometimes I visit Tommy's grave at night
That well will yield high for many a year as the day of my reckoning surely nears
