Haze

Got a book of papers today, Sat down and rolled in the hay, J.O.B. working through the haze, Waiting for the next check, Down by the corner, shady, Walking, handing off over the counter, A couple C notes, Living crook to crook, Got a book of papers today, Sat down and rolled in the hay,…

Battle Cry
