Keith Curtis - It Don't Pay Lyrics




I've got a long face
Looking like a child with a hole in his pocket
Just saw another dream slip away in the night
I've got a song
Looking for a place to be heard in the middle of the night
Under jet black skies by candle light, a song

Wouldn't anybody tell me
The sky might fall around my dreams today
Wouldn't anybody tell me
There's one thing I can do that won't go away
But it don't pay

I've got a short time
Feeling like an old man looking for a little bit of light
Or a little more time
To make it right
We ain't nothing but sport
Tell me God didn't leave a little chlld in the middle of a dream
When everything seemed like it
Just might turn out right

Wouldn't anybody tell me
The sky might fall around my dreams today
Wouldn't anybody tell me
There's one thing I can do that won't go away
But it don't pay

I've been thinking about Memphis
That Mississippi shoreline looking right fine
Might go tonight I think I've got some time
Been thinking about them
Cause I believe every child that ever had a song in their heart
Has been there once at least inside their mind

Wouldn't anybody tell me
The sky might fall around my dreams today
Wouldn't anybody tell me
There's one thing I can do that won't go away
But it don't pay

I've got a long face
Looking like a child with a hole in his pocket
Just saw another dream slip away in the night
I've got a song
I've got a song
I've got a song
