I’ve been to the west
I’ve been up north
I’ve seen the best
I’ve survived the worst

I’ve had nothing and I had it all
The cost of living, just something I can’t afford

I’m saving
Loose change
I’m saving

The checks I cash
The weeks I fast
Collection baskets passed
Oh how long will this time of strain last?

I’ve traveled to the east
I’ve driven down south
And its saying the very least
When I say I’m down and out

I’m saving
I’ll rearrange
I’m saving

The choice I make
The risk I take
It’s make or break
Life is no fun without gambling with high stakes
