Late for work when just my luck
I ran over something so I stopped my truck
Thought I hit a dog or it could've been a cat
Thank god all I hit was a canvas bag
As I picked it up I swear the devil winked
I saw a bag full of dreams when I read "Property of Brinks"

A mansion on the lake sure would be sweet
My little fixer-upper's gonna bankrupt me
Who wouldn't want a hundred-foot yacht
My old bass boat breaks down a lot
Heaven help me this is tempting as hell
But no matter how I live I gotta live with myself

Headlines read, "Man gives back loot"
Lord how my life changed by the six o'clock news
My best friend called to call me a fool
Said we could've been on a beach in Cancun
People at work made up jokes about me
That's their right but I still think I did the right thing

Go ahead and call me crazy
That's the way my momma raised me

My little fixer-upper's lookin' good to me
In twenty more years I'll be mortgage free
My old bass boat breaks down a lot
But it still gets me to my favorite spot
Heaven help me it was tempting as hell
But no matter how I live I gotta live with myself

good song, and an even better singer... I would love to work with this singer

Great Country track..just enough twang but not too much. Great moral message as well..

Great song. Wonderful message...particulary those of us who have faced down temptation. Melody is infectious and the lyrics tell a compelling story. Keep up the good work.

Great song. Original take on a theme not overdone. Great lyrics. Nice upbeat melody. Great vocal delivery. Nice arrangement. Good recording. Great job!

I love the music, melody and story concept!!!
Wonderful lyrics and rhymes!!
