Unplanned Duties

Hitting the road at a quarter to ten
I really can’t believe I’m doing this again.
But cash is getting tight
and the stress is getting worse.
I’ll be halfway there
When I finish this verse.
The path that I’m taking
On this cold dark night
I never thought I’d be doing
Something so not right.
But the cash is short
And the fights are long
My destruction is
The cause of this song.
I take another puff
Off my wooden pipe
It’s what what I have to do
To live this life.
My heart is racing
My nerves are shot
It takes all I’ve got
To not fall apart.
I’m finally there
He’s waiting for me
With my heart I hate
All that I see.
But the cash is needed
To calm the day
I only wish
There was another way.
Toke after toke
Shot after shot
I’m finally ready
To get him hot.
Three hours later
The cash is in.
I dread the day
I’ll have to do this again.
