I'm up every morning
Before the sunshine comes rollin' in
When that rooster starts crowin'
And that reminds me I need to feed him
And every day is the same
But every day is different
'Cause every day I grow
Deeper in debt
And you can't cash my checks
And you can't feel this hunger
You can push me into the water
But you can't hold me under
And you can bring me down
But you can't make me beg
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks
It's so hard to stay honest
In a world that's headed to hell
You can't make a good living these days
'Cause the truth just won't sell
So if you go out my backdoor
Just over the hill
You'll see all these plants
That's been payin' my bills
But you can't cash my checks
And you can't feel this hunger
You can push me into cold water
But you can't hold me under
You can bring me down
But you can't make me beg
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks
You can bring me down
But you can't make me beg
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks
