Can't Cash My Checks - Jamey Johnson

I’m up every morning

Before the sunshine comes rolling in

When that rooster starts crowing

It just reminds me that I need to feed him

Every day is the same

But every day is different

'Cause every day I grow

Deeper in debt

And you can’t cash my checks

And you can’t feel this hunger

You can push me into the water

But you can’t hold me under

You can bring me down

But you can’t make me beg

You can take my word

But you can’t cash my checks

It’s so hard to stay honest

In a world that’s headed to hell

You can’t make a good living these days

'Cause the truth just don’t sell

So if you go out my back door

Just over the hill

You’ll see all these plants

That’s been paying my bills

But you can’t cash my checks

And you can’t feel this hunger

You can push me into cold water

But you can’t hold me under

You can bring me down

But you can’t make me beg

You can take my word

But you can’t cash my checks

You can bring me down

But you can’t make me beg

You can take my word

But you can’t cash my checks

You can take my word

But you can’t cash my checks
