Gillian Welch - Everything Is Free lyrics

rate me

(Chorus:)

Everything is free now,

That's what they say.

Everything I ever done,

I'm going to give it away.

Someone hit the big score.

They figured it out,

That we're gonna do it anyway,

Even if doesn't pay.

I can get a tip jar,

Gas up the car,

And try to make a little change

Down at the bar.

Or I can get a straight job,

I've done it before.

I never minded working hard,

It's who I'm working for.

(Chorus)

Every day I wake up,

Hummin' a song.

But I don't need to run around,

I just stay home.

And sing a little love song,

My love, to myself.

If there's something that you want to hear,

You can sing it yourself.

'Cause everything is free now,

That what I say.

No one's got to listen to

The words in my head.

Someone hit the big score,

And I figured it out,

That we're gonna do it anyway,

Even if doesn't pay.
