36 Cents Lyrics by The Bacon Brothers

36¢

2013

(One, two, three)
Take the house lights down to half, well it's time to hit the stage
Can’t help but make it loud till we're drowning out the rage
Then break it down and pack it in cause it's off into the dawn
Gather up your tragedies and you squeeze them in a song
You sing it with conviction that no one can deny
But if you people wonder who am I
You can check my pockets when I die
You’ll find thirty-six's cents and a couple of Fender medium flat picks
A crumpled up piece of paper with the lyrics to this song
Just that thirty-six's cents and a couple of Fender medium flat picks
That's all there's gonna be when I'm gone
When i'm gone
Yeah, when i'm gone
Started with the mummers while I marched to Mardi Gras
I surfed the waves in Malibu when I was jailed in Bogota
I tried to find the masterpiece, but I could not make it fly
No one can say I did not try
It won’t be in my pockets when I die
You’ll find thirty-six's cents and a couple of Fender medium flat picks
A crumpled up piece of paper with the lyrics to this song
Just that thirty-six’s cents and a couple of Fender medium flat picks
That's all there's gonna be, when I'm gone
Whoa, Susannah, don’t you cry
Cause this will all be yours someday
So tell the folks back home goodbye
And I'll be on my way
You'll find thirty-six's cents and a couple of Fender medium flat picks
A crumpled up piece of paper with the lyrics to this song
Just that thirty-six's cents and a couple of Fender medium flat picks
That's all there's gonna be when I'm gone
When i'm gone
You'll find thirty-six's cents and a couple of Fender medium flat picks
A crumpled up piece of paper with the lyrics to this song
Just that thirty-six's cents and a couple of Fender medium flat picks
That's all there's gonna be, when I'm gone
When i'm gone
That's all there's gonna be, when I'm gone
(Hey)
(When I'm gone)
(Hy)
(Hey)
(Brrr)
(Hey, hey)
You'll find thirty-six's cents and a couple of Fender medium flat picks
A crumpled up piece of paper with the lyrics to this song
Just that thirty-six's cents and a couple of Fender medium flat picks
That's all there's gonna be, when I'm gone
That's all there's gonna be, when I'm gone
That's all there's gonna be, when I'm gone
