Story Behind The Song
I was on the phone with my sister. She was talking about how she was working so much and just barely getting by money-wise. She said "I gotta get my shit together and go from there." That was that.
Song Description
About being down in the dumps about the lack of money yet strangely content at the same time. About being an artist, living a dream, or in a dream.

Lyrics
Gotta get my shit together and go from there
Gotta get my shit together and go from there
When I get my shit together I?m gonna follow that warm weather
When I get it all together I?ll follow that warm air
Got no money but I got a pretty sweet car
Got no money but I got a pretty sweet car
Got no money but I got a sweet car, the future looks grim but I got a strong heart
Got no money but I can drive real far
Gotta keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on
When you?re falling hard, falling hard
Living the dream or in a dream it?s hard to say
Living the dream or in a dream it?s hard to say
Living the dream or just dreamin? away, take no breaks cause I?m working all day
Living the dream or in a dream it?s hard telling, it?s hard to say
There?s a 7/11 round the corner, I don?t need shoes
There?s a 7/11 round the corner, I don?t need shoes
7/11 with my sandals on, leave a trail behind cause I?m falling like a star
7/11 round the corner and they got something, something for the blues
Gotta keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on
When you?re falling hard, falling hard
Gotta get my shit together and go from there
Gotta get my shit together and go from there
When I get my shit together I?m gonna follow that warm weather
When I get it all together I?ll follow that warm air
