The Best Damn Things In Life Are Free Lyrics - Badlees

(Alexander) 

Well I met her in college 

Hanging out at sigma Chi 

Singing stoned and drunken versions 

Of American Pie 

We picked up and married 

Soon as she got out of school 

I'd soon hit the big time 

Seemed like the thing to do 

I must have overlooked something 

'Cause I'm over my head 

But the best damn things in life are free 

And as long as I got your company 

That's what she said 

I'm not one for worrying 

'Bout dreams left unfulfilled 

But it's a long way to the "Garden" 

From the Canton Bar and Grill 

And the wife's got a lifestyle 

That she's looking to maintain 

That these musicians wages 

Can't hope to sustain 

I'm running out of options 

I'm running out of time 

Just tell me how to make it pay 

If it takes me 27 hours a day 

I won't mind 

It's a matter of opinion 

Between right and wrong 

In you circles of distinction 

I can't last that long 

I know I'm not worth much 

To you financially 

But the best damn things in life are free 

Some read the Wall street Journal 

Some play the lottery 

Some invest in foreign lands 

That they have never seen 

Others roll the dice or spin the wheel 

Or play their hand 

Me, I learned to play guitar 

And joined a long haired band
