Fancy Floors

Lemon pledge in a yellow can

Look at my dishwater hands

5 AM and already working hard

I used to think I was born to sing

Could've been the next big thing

Sellin' songs I wrote on my guitar

But I'm cleaning other people's houses

Gettin' seven bucks an hour

Too young to be so tired and so bored

Lord I've made some choices I can't polish or ignore

So I'm cleanin' other people's fancy floors

He said he had the power to make me

A big star and he called me baby

But that's not what he wanted in the end

I was dumb enough to fall in love

Didn't know on the very next bus

A brand new blue-eyed singer just rolled in

Now I'm cleaning other people's houses

Gettin' seven bucks an hour

Too young to be so tired and so bored

Lord I've made some choices I can't polish or ignore

So I'm cleanin' other people's fancy floors

Lemon pledge in a yellow can can't

Clean the dust off the dreams and plans

I've been brushing underneath the rug

The only way to right the wrongs

Is to write them in my songs

And finally forgive myself because

I've been cleaning other people's houses

Gettin' seven bucks an hour

Too young to be so tired and so bored

Lord I've made some choices I can't polish or ignore

But I'm done sweepin' other people's fancy floors

Time to go find my own fancy floors

I'm done sweepin' other people's fancy floors
