A Couple Acres Greener Lyrics - Mipso

I've never been so hungry, 

Seems like twenty-two years I've been looking for a fight 

Never stayed in school for long, 

Couldn't keep my patience on 

Never had the motivation quite to get my timimg right 

I want my story to begin 

There's a time to save up and a time to spend 

I'm too young for the past tense 

All this worrying about what might have been. 

Should have been a preacher man, 

Let the good book show me where to stand 

In this earthly half-way home 

Should have been a farmin' man, 

Teach my boy to plow the land 

Leave this wicked winter just a couple acres greener when I go.

I've never been so thirsty to get my soul right 

But like a summer bug, I've been burned by the blinding light 

Never stayed in church for long, pop'lar peo'les 'n white folks songs 

Sunday morning was never as real as Fiday Night. 

I want to celebrate my sins 

There's a time to save up and a time to spend 

I'm too young for the past tense 

All this worrying about what might have been. 

Should have been a preacher man, 

Let the good book show me where to stand 

In this earthly half-way home 

Should have been a farmin' man, 

Teach my boy to plow the land 

Leave this wicked winter just a couple acres greener when I go 

Some day they'll write my name upon a stone 

And I won't be there to see it. 

Up on Calv'ry calling me I know they'll say...
