I Got Paid

This newfound lifestyle's been pretty damn good to me
Real good looking beaches
Surrounded by a bunch of palm trees

When work wasn't working out
Went a little further south, found myself in paradise
Got a drink in my hand and my toes in the sand
Held up at the bar tonight

Paper started rollin' in, so I rolled out
Standing in a better place where I am now
You know I couldn't get ahead where I was before
Now I got everything that I want and more
Money can't buy happy, that's what they say
But things sure been better since I got paid

Got a tour bus, no rush
Gettin' it from A to B
Everywhere I go most people know me
So, I'm always drinking for free
Had a laundry list of wish I did's and never even thought I could's
Went from laminate floors to suicide doors
So, damn, I got it good

Paper started rollin' in, so I rolled out
Standing in a better place where I am now
You know I couldn't get ahead where I was before
Now I got everything that I want and more
Money can't buy happy, that's what they say
But things sure been better since I got paid

It's all sushi rolls and Cabernet
(Sure been better since I got paid)
No more overtime, minimum wage
(Sure been better since I got paid)
It's a party in the clouds in an aeroplane
(Sure been better since I got paid)
A lot of new problems but I can't complain
(Sure been better since I got paid)
Whoa, mm, yeah
