Jason Isbell - Now that your dollar bills have sprouted wings lyrics

I had fourteen dollars in my inside pocket And twenty-two more up my sleeve There was cold hard cash lining up my jacket But I did not have a dime when I did leave When I got here I was carrying roses When I had to go, I was only holding dirt Well I walked in here wearing a tuxedo But I left wearing an old t-shirt They say it's hard times, don't I know it I'm sleeping on a bed made of nails Well, I used to live way up in the penthouse Now I can't even get a room in the county jail Now that your dollar bills have sprouted wings And I don't think they'll come around next spring Just like birds of prey They will take what's yours and fly away Now that your dollar bills have sprouted wings Well, I came to town on a pile of diamonds Now I'm leaving on a wheelbarrow of dust With IOUs glued to my eyelids Sitting here watching my safe rust Watching all your coins roll down the gutter All your champagne going down the sink Is there something that you're trying to remember? Or is that string around your finger a wedding ring? Now that your dollar bills have sprouted wings I don't think they'll come around next spring Just like birds of prey They'll take what's yours and fly away Now that your dollar bills have sprouted wings Ow
