lela's stars

Singer:hayes, walker

it's 3:42 a.m. eyes blood shot

yawning in my honda in a costco parking lot

waiting on the door to unlock so i can clock in early

and stock the cooler 'til i swear i need back surgery

wondering what the hell i'm doing with my life

wishing i was still in bed with my wife

scribbling lyrics on the side of a styrofoam cup

do my kids need their dad to grow up

or keep chasing the dream

it ain't making no sense

no dollars

am i a failure

or a father?

father

help

look at the felt on my effed up ceiling

had to bum thumbtacks from my 9 and a half year old daughter lela

just to keep it from coming down

kinda like my tears when i count

lela's stars

the sky ain't fallin'

it's just the roof of my car

lela's stars

the sky ain't fallin'

it's just the roof of my

it's just the roof of my car

man

i wish this coffee had a little maker's in it

eleven bucks an hour

shit

that's less than twenty cents a minute

but

hey

it's a gig

and it's food in the refrigerator

it's time to get to work

but y'all

when i get off later

i'm gonna pick up this pen where i'm leaving off now

and get back to this song and show my children how to never give up

on something you love

something you want

even when your check engine light is on

nah

the future don't look bright but

it's like it's all going to be alright in the light of

lela's stars

the sky ain't fallin'

it's just the roof of my car

lela's stars

the sky ain't fallin'

it's just the roof of my

it's just the roof of my car

pink and purple

green and blue

poor man's decorations

all i saw was a bunch of thumbtacks

she saw constellations

it's gonna be tough to get rid of this ride when the world gets my gift

cause i don't think they make new cars that come with

lela's stars

the sky ain't fallin'

it's just the roof of my car

lela's stars

the sky ain't fallin'

it's just the roof of my

it's just the roof of my car

it's just the roof of my car
