It's 3:42 a.m., eyes blood shot Yawning in my Honda in a Costco parking lot Waiting on the door to unlock so I can clock in early And stock the cooler 'til I swear I need back surgery Wondering what the hell I'm doing with my life Wishing I was still in bed with my wife Scribbling lyrics on the side of a styrofoam cup Do my kids need their dad to grow up Or keep chasing the dream It ain't making no sense, no dollars Am I a failure, or a father? Father, help, look at the felt on my effed up ceiling Had to bum thumbtacks from my 9 and a half year old daughter Lela Just to keep it from coming down Kinda like my tears when I count Lela's stars The sky ain't fallin', it's just the roof of my car Lela's stars The sky ain't fallin', it's just the roof of my It's just the roof of my car Man, I wish this coffee had a little Maker's in it Eleven bucks an hour, shit, that's less than twenty cents a minute But, hey, it's a gig, and it's food in the refrigerator It's time to get to work, but y'all, when I get off later SongtexteI'm gonna pick up this pen where I'm leaving off now And get back to this song and show my children how to never give up On something you love, something you want Even when your check engine light is on Nah, the future don't look bright but It's like it's all going to be alright in the light of Lela's stars The sky ain't fallin', it's just the roof of my car Lela's stars The sky ain't fallin', it's just the roof of my It's just the roof of my car Pink and purple, green and blue, poor man's decorations All I saw was a bunch of thumbtacks, she saw constellations It's gonna be tough to get rid of this ride when the world gets my gift Cause I don't think they make new cars that come with Lela's stars The sky ain't fallin', it's just the roof of my car Lela's stars The sky ain't fallin', it's just the roof of my It's just the roof of my car It's just the roof of my car Aus Songtexte Mania
