What They Don't Tell You Lyrics

Well I’ve been waiting for the snow to finally fall

So I can shovel that churches parking lot

You know, God don’t pay much

But it’s the only job that I’ve got

Another time, you know, it feels like another life

I had my own tools and I showed up at nine

But there ain’t a foreman in his right mind

Who wants a drunk around his construction sight

So, I learned every line from every pamphlet in AA

But what they don’t tell you

Is that some things still won’t change

You’ll still be broke and unemployed

And your car still needs brakes

You can take your coffee black as a cave

It’ll never fill the hole

Of no one calling out your name

Well I got a brother

The other side of that St. Croix

He’s got a pretty wife

And a blue-eyed baby boy

He’s got a couch I know about

You know I helped him move it in

But there ain’t no room for me now

In that big old house of his

So I learned every line from every pamphlet in AA

But what they don’t tell you

Is that some things still won’t change

You’ll still be broke and unemployed

And your car still needs brakes

You can take your coffee black as a cave

It’ll never fill the hole

Of no one calling out your name
