Told me you're tired of working
Told me your back's been hurting
But you're coming home late, put the TV on again
Watching the days go by
It didn't turn out like we thought it would
'Cause life out here ain't like Hollywood
When the money runs low, and the bills go high
Can't seem to make things right
And holiday plains they fade away
'Cause the washing machine broke down today
If it ain't one thing, it's always something else
But I'm gonna buy you a house
Where you can plant your flowers in the garden
And every Friday night I'll take you out
We'll drink expensive wine like it's water
Told me we're both getting older
And it still doesn't feel any closer
And you're tired of your job, they don't pay you enough
Life on a minimum wage
We're filling up the car with the credit card
It's like any day now we could fall apart
And we're putting on a smile, even though it's been a while
Since luck came around this way
When it rains, it pours, you need a break
When they slam that door right in your face
Every single day just feels the same
But I'm gonna buy you a house
Where you can plant your flowers in the garden
And every Friday night I'll take you out
We'll drink expensive wine like it's water
I can tell you stopped believing
When there's holes up in the ceiling
Now it's winter and it's freezing
I know it's hard for you to see it
But I'm gonna buy you a house
Where you can plant your flowers in the garden
And every Friday night I'll take you out
We'll drink expensive wine like it's water
It's water, it's water
(Told me you're tired of working now)
We'll drink expensive wine like it's water
It's water, it's water
We'll drink expensive wine just like it's water
