to the last penny (Stripped Back) Lyrics

Well, I once was a married man

But she ain't like the songs I sang

She stopped calling me honey

Took all of my money

I fell in love with a girl named mary jane

Had a threeway with her best friend cocaine

I know it's funny

But they took all of my goddamn money

I ain't got no money

I ain't got no peace

I ain't got one thing left to my name but this six-string

I know I'm not that lucky

But that don't bother me

Yeah, to the last penny I have I'll bet it all on me

Well the preacher always saying that we owe him a tenth

Cuz the Lord wanted him to have a private jet

So every Sunday, the preacher took all of my money

I signed a deal with the devil at seventeen

Now he takes a cut of every single breath I breathe

He sure was cunning, and lighting fast at taking my money

I ain't got no money

I ain't got no peace

I ain't got one thing left to my name but this six-string

I know I'm not that lucky

But that don't bother me

Yeah, to the last penny I have I'll bet it all on me

I paid my dues singing for a sip of jack

But now I know my songs are worth more than that

So don't be frontin'

Bitch better have my money

You better have my money

You better pay my fees

Yeah I put everything I am into this six-string

This ain't cuz I'm lucky

This shit ain't free

Yeah I spent years of empty hands and bloody knees

Yeah I put everything I am into this six-string

Yeah to the last penny I have I'll bet it all on me
