PAYDAY TODAY / © 2014 James Barton
from the Down at Delmonico’s CD

I like holding a job
I like knowing a skill
I like praying to God
I like paying my bills

It’s payday today
Payday today
I just got paid

I’m not diving for pearls
I’m not watching the clock
I don’t ask for the world
I just keep my ass out of hock

It’s payday today
Payday today
I just got paid

Yeah I'm all right
Three squares a day and a roof over my head at night
Just an average Joe
With a row to hoe

Yeah I'm okay
It's better than a poke in the eye, or so they say
Not a man of means
I don't dream no dreams

I’m just towing the line
I’m just doing my best
I’m just killing my time
Until the week after next

It’s payday today
It’s payday today
Got paid
