Losing My Commission

[Verse] Down at the barn, counting every bale of hay, Johnny's truck broke down, it's been a hell of a day. Phone's been buzzin', ain't no good news comin' through, Boss man's hollerin', guess the numbers don't quite add up true. [Verse 2] Worked all summer, dust and sweat on my skin, Dreamin' 'bout that bonus check, thinkin' 'bout what might've been. Sun's settin' low, casting shadows on my pride, Payroll's comin' short, no place left to hide. [Chorus] Oh, I'm losin' my commission, no dollars in my hand, All the dreams I've been wishin', slip away like shifting sand. How am I gonna tell her, can't buy that weddin' band? Oh, I'm losin' my commission, no dollars in my hand. [Verse 3] Bank account's thinner than a worn-out cowboy's boot, Red numbers flashin', bills are shootin' through the roof. Local diner calls, but I can't even afford a meal, Heart's heavy like iron, this pain's too damn real. [Bridge] Big city folks, they say it's just a game, But out here in the country, money ain't the same. Every dime's a lifeline, every cent’s a gift, Livin' paycheck to paycheck, no room for what ifs. [Chorus] Oh, I'm losin' my commission, no dollars in my hand, All the dreams I've been wishin', slip away like shifting sand. How am I gonna tell her, can't buy that weddin' band? Oh, I'm losin' my commission, no dollars in my hand.
