“More Dollars Than Sense”
(David Pennybaker - DOC 7/20/2022)

Got a few dollars left / From the show last night
Now I’m here again / Tryin’ to bum me a light
Set down this guitar / Pick up that pool cue
Maybe it’s time / To try somethin’ new

Gettin’ real tired / Of playin’ this game
Even when it’s diff’rent / It all ends the same
I may not be poor / But I **** sure ain’t rich
Need some change ‘round here / I got more dollars than sense

Set it all up again / Playin’ for tips
Bendin’ them strings / Honest words from my lips
When the night is over / I’ll have enough cash
Get down the road / Fill up with gas

Gettin’ real tired / Of playin’ this game
Even when it’s diff’rent / It all ends the same
I may not be poor / But I **** sure ain’t rich
Need some change ‘round here / I got more dollars than sense

It ain’t ‘bout the money / But a man’s gotta eat
When I ain’t writin’ or playin’ / I don’t feel complete

Maybe there’ll come a time / When the stars all align
I’ll lay it all on the line / Down to my last dime
Up until then / I know what I will do
I’ll be out here / Payin’ my dues

Gettin’ real tired / Of playin’ this game
Even when it’s diff’rent / It all ends the same
I may not be poor / But I **** sure ain’t rich
Need some change ‘round here / I got more dollars than sense

Got a few dollars left / From the show last night
Now I’m here again / Tryin’ to bum me a light

Beautiful guitar accompaniment.
You can tell a story, and this composition is a story of musicians doing what they love.
Love this.

Thanks so much for your kind words.

I revised the lyrics a bit and re-recorded it (replaced the original version in the first post).

I'm pretty sure I've seen you mention Zane Williams before. I've known him for over a decade now (I live just a few miles from him). This song idea came to me earlier this month while listening to him doing a song swap with David Lee just a few miles from our homes.

Yes I was at Tin Pan South a number of years ago when his song "The Big Picture " got a new songwriter award or something like that ..

He's done seven albums now. And his new project, "The Wilder Blue" has put out two albums so far. They are fantastic. Their new song, "Wave Dancer" just went to #1 on the Texas Country charts this week.
