Common Cents

David Shaw

[Intro]
This life's as crazy as it seems, son
Don't you ever think twice
Get a bullet in your back, boy
If a knife won't just suffice
You thought you had some common cents
Until you wound up flat bro-o-oke

[Verse 1]
Well now you off on the other side
Of the fence, you're all alone
Just hopin' and a prayin' you don't choke on a big dog bone
'Cause dreamin' is a funny thing
You really realize, or sing in vain
So I think I think I think
Well I think I choose the latter man

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh yes you were an angel
And you held me through tha fire
All those long, hard nights babe
Full of cocaine and desire
So if you choose to retire
I hope I meet you up in that afterlife
The afterlife

[Chorus 1]
Tell Janice I'm comin' home
Jimmy I won't be late
Oh sweet, sweet Brandy
You could have never been to my state
But if I get us stuck in between
At least I'm here in home New Orleans, New Orleans
With the [?] and them gravel lanes
And them hula games

[Bridge]
Ya bro-o-o-oke
Ya bro-o-o-oke
Ya bro-o-o-oke
Ya bro-o-o-oke
(Ya bro-o-o-oke)
(Ya bro-o-o-oke)
(Ya bro-o-o-oke)
(Ya bro-o-o-oke)
(Ya bro-o-o-oke)
(Ya bro-o-o-oke)
(Ya bro-o-o-oke)
(Ya bro-o-o-oke)
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Oh yes you were an angel
I said yes you were an angel
Oh yes you were an angel
Said yes you were an angel, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yes you were an angel
And you held me through tha fire
All those long, hard nights babe
Had to sit up and prespire
So if you choose to retire
I hope I meet you up in that afterlife
The afterlife

[Chorus 2]
Tell Janice I'm comin' home
Jimmy I won't be late
Oh sweet, sweet Brandy
You could have never been to my state
But if I get us stuck in between, yeah
At least I'm here in home New Orleans, New Orleans
With the [?] and the gravel lanes
And them hula games
