Champagne Taste (on A Beer Budget) Lyrics - Crazy Life - Home Free

The other day I checked my bank account, I could swear it was the wrong amount and I didn't understand cause I've been working hard. 

For the life of me I didn't know where it went. 

I hadn't even payed the rent. 

Then the Mercedes pulled up in the yard. 

Oh, Lord I should have seen it coming, this time I'm in deep. 

Now I'm heading to poor house, you're heading to jail. 

And if I end up there I ain't making bail. 

And if it goes to court, I sure don't have a case. 

Cause I ran out of money some time ago, but if you look at my wife you'd never know. 

I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste on a beer budget. 

When my throat dried up and my heart just sunk as she motioned me over and I popped the trunk. 

And I tried to ignore her absent minded smile. 

Then boy I was greeted by quite the crew, this Louis Vuitton and some Jimmy Choo. 

And that was just the fellas that were sitting on top of the pile. 

I said, " 

Baby, there's a Walmart a block away and I don't think they sell these brands." 

Now I'm heading to poor house, you're heading to jail. 

And if I end up there I ain't making bail. 

And if it goes to court, I sure don't have a case. 

Cause I ran out of money some time ago, but if you look at my wife you'd never know. 

I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste on a beer budget. 

All the bills are in my name. 

They're gonna haul my ass away. 

And I won't see her pretty face at all, cause the prison's nowhere near the mall. 

Now I'm heading to poor house, you're heading to jail. 

And if I end up there I ain't making bail. 

And if it goes to court, I sure don't have a case. 

Cause I ran out of money some time ago, but if you look at my wife you'd never know. 

I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste on a beer budget.
