champagne taste on a beer budget

Home Free

The other day, I checked my bank account
I could swear it was the wrong amount
And I didn t understand cause
I d been workin hard
For the life of me, I didn t know where it went
I hadn t even paid the rent
Then the mercedes pulled up in the yard
Oh, lord, I should have seen it comin
This time I m in deep

Now I m headin to the poorhouse
Or headin to jail
And if I end up there
I ain t makin bail
And if it goes to court
I sure don t have a case
Cause I ran out of money
Some time ago
But if you look at my wife
You d never know
I m afraid my baby s got champagne taste
On a beer budget

Well. My throat dried up
And my heart just sunk
As she motioned me over
And popped the trunk
And I tried to ignore her absent-minded smile
And, boy, I was greeted by quite the crew
This louis vuitton and some jimmy choo
And that was just the fellas who were sittin on top of the pilei
I said, baby, there s a walmart a block away
And I don t think they sell these brands

Now I m headin to the poorhouse
Or headin to jail
And if I end up there
I ain t makin bail
And if it goes to court
I sure don t have a case
Cause I ran out of money
Some time ago
But if you look at my wife
You d never know
I m afraid my baby s got champagne taste
On a beer budget

All the bills are in my name
All the bills are in his name
They re gonna haul my ass away
They re gonna haul his ass away
And I won t see her pretty face at all
No-o-o
Cause the prison ls nowhere near the mall

Now I m headin to the poorhouse
Or headin to jail
And if I end up there
I ain t makin bail
And if it goes to court
I sure don t have a case

Cause I ran out of money
Some time ago
But if you look at my wife
You d never know
I m afraid my baby s got champagne taste
On a beer budget
Oh, oh
