[00:15.015]One day I went to work, told em I had had enough
[00:17.877]I was born to be an artist I was meant for paint and brush
[00:24.120]So I sold all I owned, what I didn’t sell I burned
[00:27.244]And I moved in with my parents, bought supplies with what I’d earned
[00:33.032]And now all I got to show for these empty cans of paint
[00:36.191]Is a portrait of my mother, a suburban landscape
[00:42.185]All the people that I met, all the time that I spent
[00:45.348]Was a poor man’s fortune but didn’t pay the rent
[00:51.280]I made it one whole year
[00:54.629]Think it went pretty well but I’ll tell you in a minute it was shorter than it felt
[01:03.345]The nurse called my name and I hobbled to my feet
[01:06.257]And the test results were good enough to let em set me free
[01:12.060]Now they’re tearing off my casts and I’m trying to recall
[01:15.454]How to walk and how to dance and how it feels when I fall
[01:21.432]All the people that I met, all the time that I spent
[01:24.831]Was a poor man’s fortune but it didn’t pay the rent
[01:30.833]I made it one whole year
[01:33.966]Think it went pretty well but I’ll tell you in a minute it was shorter than it felt
[01:49.807]Well, I pleaded with the judge and I cried to the jury
[01:52.696]But my lawyer says it’s over and I really shouldn’t worry
[01:58.717]I thought I’d get off clean but they heard my past was checkered
[02:01.840]Don’t they know a man is more than what’s recorded on the record
[02:07.921]So they hauled me off in chains and they showed me to my cell
[02:11.054]It’s a place that never rains it’s a steel umbrella
[02:23.100]All the people that I met, all the time that I spent
[02:26.237]Was a poor man’s fortune but it didn’t pay the rent
[02:32.195]I made it one whole year
[02:34.003]Think it went pretty well but I’ll tell you in a minute it was shorter than it felt
[02:56.000]I made it one whole year
[02:59.500]Think it went pretty well but I’ll tell you in a minute it was shorter than it felt
[03:08.951]I made it one whole year
[03:11.003]Think it went pretty well Think it went pretty well
