lyrics

A MILLION DOLLARS

ya sat across from me
ya put yr cards on the table
you were feelin’ no relief
from the stars r the heat

there were tears in yr eyes
you were shuffling yr feet
your voice got raspy
yr face looked sweet

i will put a million dollars
in yr hands, i will
but it won’t be the money
gives you a happy pill

it’s all the friends in yr heart
- the light on the hill
that bring you back to earth
you can do it, i know you will

don’t run
don’t hide
your heart
is a bull’s eye

you were doin’ somethin’ simple
in the dark downstairs
+ ya burst out cryin’
don’t anyone care

to show you affection
to love who you are
to just watch tv
wrapped up in yr arms

you been alone too long
for too many years
one too many losses
+ one too many fears

i will put a million dollars
in yr hands, i will
but it won’t be the money
gives you a happy pill

it won’t be the money
