Lyrics

Verse 1 Bills stacked high on the kitchen floor, I count my coins, then count some more. The rent’s due soon, I feel the strain, I try to smile, I feel the pain. Every dollar slips away. Chorus Empty wallet, I’m running slow, I work so hard, but I got no dough. Empty wallet, I’ll survive the fight, I’ll keep my soul through the night. Verse 2 Penny jar’s low, the fridge is bare, I wear my thrift like a heavy stare. I dream of gold, but touch the ground, Still I keep walking this lonely town. Money’s gone but I’m still here. Chorus Empty wallet, I’m running slow, I work so hard, but I got no dough. Empty wallet, I’ll survive the fight, I’ll keep my soul through the night. Verse 3 Night comes cold, the lamp burns low, I write my hope in the fading glow. I’ll find a way to break these chains, Keep my heart through the pouring rains. Empty wallet, I won’t fall. Chorus / Outro Empty wallet, I’m running slow, I work so hard, but I got no dough. Empty wallet… fade tonight.
