Paycheck - Josh Kaufman

I still remember my first job taking orders at the restaurant

Singing on Sundays in the church choir, playing Fridays at the local club

I wasn’t sleeping much and making next to nothing

No one even knew my name

But I was having fun, it ain’t hard when you love it

I was never in it for the fame

Because it’s not about the paycheck

I’m in it for the love of the game

And I will never take a rain check

If you wanna win you’ve gotta play

Hey, hey, hey

You know it’s not about the paycheck

Oh, but tell me where to sign my name

I still remember the first time I was singing to a sold out crowd (How's

everybody doing tonight?)

I had a sea of people to play for, but I just wanted to make my Momma proud

Still wasn’t sleeping much, but I was making something

People started knowing my name

I was just having fun, it ain’t hard when you love it

I was never in it for the fame

Because it’s not about the paycheck

I’m in it for the love of the game (Yes I am)

And I will never take a rain check

If you wanna win you’ve gotta play

Hey, hey, hey

You know it’s not about the paycheck

Oh, but tell me where to sign my name

I sang for millions of people, had my face on every TV screen (Have you seen it?

But I still sing in the choir cause there ain’t no place I’d rather be

You see it’s not about the paycheck

I’m in it for the love of the game

And I won’t ever take a rain check

If you wanna win you’ve gotta play

Because it’s not about the paycheck

I’m in it for the love of the game

And I will never take a rain check

If you wanna win you’ve gotta play, Nah-a-a

You know it’s not about the paycheck

But tell me where to sign my name

Hey, hey, hey

You know it’s not about the paycheck

But tell me where to sign my name
