song lyrics
{Pre-Chorus}
The internet's got us buyin'
Things we don't even use
Wake up broke every mornin'
Wonderin' what we've got to lose
{Chorus}
Too much stuff, growin' like weeds
In every corner of this house
It's a burden of possessions, not just needs
Can't blame it all on my spouse
Every day we're online
Spendin' money we ain't got
Say we'll save a little next time
But that ain't happenin' a lot
{Verse 1}
Johnny down at the VFW
Says he ain't got a place to stay
Spent his rent online gamblin'
And lost every dime of his pay
Debbie, she's a friend of my wife
Keeps buyin' those fancy plates
Lookin' for a little happiness
And that brown truck knows the way
{Chorus}
Too much stuff, growin' like weeds
In every corner of this house
It's a burden of possessions, not just needs
Can't blame it all on my spouse
Every day we're online
Spendin' money we ain't got
Say we'll save a little next time
But that ain't happenin' a lot
{Verse 2}
Daddy said, "A fool and his money
Soon will part and go their way"
I didn't know what he was talkin' about
But I sure do today
We filled a big ole house
With things we thought we'd need
Then moved into a small apartment
And finally felt free, livin' with less
But a change is comin'
We're turnin' this ship around
Cut up the credit cards
Turn off the Wi-Fi too
Put away the laptop
Find something real to do
We know it ain't easy
Lord, we know it's been tough
But maybe what we're really needin'
Ain't any more of that stuff
{Bridge}
Shut it down
Take a walk
Talk to your neighbors
Down the block
Watch the sunset
Paint the sky
Funny what you've been missin'
While scrollin' by
{Chorus}
Too much stuff, growin' like weeds
In every corner of this house
It's a burden of possessions, not just needs
Can't blame it all on my spouse
Every day we're online
Spendin' money we ain't got
Now we're savin' for tomorrow
And that sounds better than a lot
{Final Chorus}
Too much stuff, growin' like weeds
In every corner of this house
It's a burden of possessions, not just needs
Can't blame it all on my spouse
Now every day we're not online
Not spendin' money we ain't got
'Cause we've learned less is more
And that's sayin' quite a lot
{Tag}
Turns out freedom
Takes up less room
Than all that stuff
