Pay Time

[Verse 1] Woke up this morning, got my paycheck in my hand It's been a long month, I've been working on the land Bills are piling high, they’re staring me in the face But there's that new guitar, calling out from the display case [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the struggle's real, between what I need and what I feel Gotta make a choice, gotta spin the wheel [Chorus] Pay those bills or buy my thrills Save for the future or chase those chills Every dollar's got a tale to tell In this balancing act, it's heaven or hell [Verse 2] Rent's due Friday, and the fridge is running low There's a sale on the weekend, tempting me to go Credit cards are calling, but I know the cost In this game of life, there's so much I could lose or have lost [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the struggle's real, between what I need and what I feel Gotta make a choice, gotta spin the wheel [Chorus] Pay those bills or buy my thrills Save for the future or chase those chills Every dollar's got a tale to tell In this balancing act, it's heaven or hell [Bridge] Late at night, I lie awake and wonder Should I play it safe or live a little bolder? The weight of the world on my shoulders In this fight, I’m getting older and older [Chorus] Pay those bills or buy my thrills Save for the future or chase those chills Every dollar's got a tale to tell In this balancing act, it's heaven or hell [Outro] So I’ll keep on working, finding my way Balancing the budget, day by day With every dollar earned, and every cent spent I’ll navigate this journey, until my heart's content Got my paycheck in my hand, and a dream in my soul Pay those bills or buy my thrills, that’s the goal [End]
