Home Free - Champagne Taste (On a Beer Budget) lyrics

The other day, I checked my bank account I could swear it was the wrong amount And I didn't understand 'cause I'd been workin' hard For the life of me, I didn't know where it went I hadn't even paid the rent Then the Mercedes pulled up in the yard Oh, lord, I should have seen it comin' This time I'm in deep Now I'm headin' to the poorhouse Or headin' to jail And if I end up there I ain't makin' bail And if it goes to court I sure don't have a case 'Cause I ran out of money Some time ago But if you look at my wife You'd never know I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste On a beer budget Well. my throat dried up And my heart just sunk As she motioned me over And popped the trunk And I tried to ignore her absent-minded smile And, boy, I was greeted by quite the crew This Louis Vuitton and some Jimmy Choo And that was just the fellas who were sittin' on top of the pile I said, Baby, there's a Walmart a block away And I don't think they sell these brands Now I'm headin' to the poorhouse Or headin' to jail And if I end up there I ain't makin' bail And if it goes to court I sure don't have a case 'Cause I ran out of money Some time ago But if you look at my wife You'd never know I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste On a beer budget All the bills are in my name *All the bills are in his name* They're gonna haul my a** away *They're gonna haul his a** away* And I won't see her pretty face at all *No-o-o* 'Cause the prison ls nowhere near the mall Now I'm headin' to the poorhouse Or headin' to jail And if I end up there I ain't makin' bail And if it goes to court I sure don't have a case *Yee-haw* 'Cause I ran out of money Some time ago But if you look at my wife You'd never know I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste On a beer budget Oh, oh
