KICKING A CAN DOWN THE ROAD
MOMMA SAID YOU SHOULD PAY AS YOU GO
WHY WOULD YOU OWN MORE THAN WHAT YOU OWE
DON’T WANT TO CARRY A HEAVIER LOAD / DONCHA KNOW
(YOU’LL BE)
KICKING A CAN / KICKING A CAN DOWN THE ROAD
(BUT MOMMA) I WANT TO HAVE SOME REAL NICE THINGS
TWO TREE GUITARS / SOME FANCY RINGS
JUST A FEW PAY SCALES ABOVE WHAT I CAN AFFORD
SHE SAID I’M KICKING A CAN / KICKING A CAN DOWN THE ROAD
PICK IT UP / PICK IT UP / YOU GOTTA PICK IT UP SOMEDAY
(SHE TOLD ME) NEITHER LENDER NOR A BORROWER BE
FIND YOUR HAPPINESS IN WHAT YOU CAN SEE
PLAIN AS THE DAY (PAUSE) / NO NEED TO CRACK / ANY CODE
NO NEED TO KICK THAT CAN / KICK THAT CAN DOWN THE ROAD
NEVER KICK THAT CAN / KICK THAT CAN DOWN THE ROAD
NO DONCHA KICK THAT CAN / KICK THAT CAN DOWN THE ROAD

It’s unCANny, but some of the harmony structures sound very much like CSN to me. A lot of good things happening. I think a lot of people will really like this one, but I’m not one of them. Suit up, Hobbs!

True words of wisdom. Love the music and the theme is what is needed in this “keep up with the jones’s ” world of debt, debt, debt. Little slang, “two, tree guitars” nice touch. Can’t get the lyrics after “neither a lender nor a borrower be”, even after the nth listen. Another catchy tune that keeps repeating itsself in my mind.

Hey David,
The line is “Find some happiness in what you can see. Plain as day, no need to crack any code”. It took me a few listenings to find out what this singer was singing as well. Enunciate.
What slang?

Senator: I must say that I like this one the best. Like the overall sound of the song and up beat tempo. I also think that your vocals start to really come out on this one. Fits your register better.

Hey DH,
Glad you like. We may be adding electric to that tune soon, and possibly recutting the lead vocal.
I appreciate the listen and weigh in.
