Lyrics

High on Life - Short on Cash (Tani) I got pulled over a little while back Somethin' about goin' a little too fast With a tail light out And an open bottle of stout I hadn't even drunk more than a couple of sips But I had a hand rolled smoke hangin' from my lips It's a common mistake One many officers make Most of the charges were dropped and I didn't get time Just the legal costs and a number of fines Now I could use a little loan, if I could be so brash I'm high on life - just short on cash I just gave you a loan a little while back Somethin' 'bout the rent on your Gramma's shack Some catastrophe With some nasty fee You were cryin' 'bout a flood and some rare disease A fire and a famine and the Red Chinese It was a tale of woe You told it like a pro You gave me your word you'd pay it right back Then took my check and blew it at the track Now you want more money – Yeah, I'd call that brash I'm high on life –You're short on cash Well we ain't got much, and least of all money And I ain't that sure about you honey But I got a good feelin' about these scratchers! Give me one more shot. I'll make it all good I'm just complicated - Misunderstood Why can't people see I just gotta be me I gave you more shots than a goddam nurse I got an IV drip hangin' from my purse Right down the drain No pain no gain Honey, I swear I'll get you every last dime That's the same thing you said ev'ry last time Come on sugar. It ain't like that You're high on life - I'm short on cash
