(Alexander)
Well I met her in college
Hanging out at sigma Chi
Singing stoned and drunken versions
Of American Pie
We picked up and married
Soon as she got out of school
Iâd soon hit the big time
Seemed like the thing to do
I must have overlooked something
âCause Iâm over my head
But the best damn things in life are free
And as long as I got your company
Thatâs what she said
Iâm not one for worrying
âBout dreams left unfulfilled
But itâs a long way to the âGardenâ
From the Canton Bar and Grill
And the wifeâs got a lifestyle
That sheâs looking to maintain
That these musicians wages
Canât hope to sustain
Iâm running out of options
Iâm running out of time
Just tell me how to make it pay
If it takes me 27 hours a day
I wonât mind
Itâs a matter of opinion
Between right and wrong
In you circles of distinction
I canât last that long
I know Iâm not worth much
To you financially
But the best damn things in life are free
Some read the Wall street Journal
Some play the lottery
Some invest in foreign lands
That they have never seen
Others roll the dice or spin the wheel
Or play their hand
Me, I learned to play guitar
And joined a long haired band
