Story behind the song
Inspired by my wife, Jada.
Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
Just yesterday the banker man told me
Listen up, I got some awful news
I am here to take your independance
Cause you're flat broke, and your bills are overdue
[BREAK 1]
He said with a grin, "We win, you lose"
[VERSE 2]
The banker goes home to his house in the hills
A warm fire burning and the kids on Nintendo
It all seems fine when you look at the outside
But deep down inside he's got an empty heart.
[BREAK 2]
It's okay, they can't take it all away
[CHORUS 1]
I ain't got nothin but the lint in my pocket
I ain't got nothin but this old pair of shoes
Living like this might sure seem hard
But everything's alright baby _ cause I got you
[VERSE 3]
It might seem tough tryin to hold my head up
Swallow my pride and get on with living
I only seems tough but I've got a secret
Got a picture of you, deep in my heart.
[BREAK 3]
I smile with content cause I'm the wealthiest man I know.
[BRIDGE]
How did I get this way?
When did I ever lose sight of "okay"?
They say that we live in a great, great country
Well I guess that's so if you're a super hero
[CHORUS 2]
I ain't got nothin but the lint in my pocket
I ain't got nothin but this old pair of blues
Living like this ain't the easiest way
But everything's alright baby _ cause I got you
[CHORUS 3]
I ain't got nothin but the lint in my pocket
I ain't got nothin but this feeling that's true
Living like this ain't the easiest way
But everything's alright baby _ cause I got you
