Where Am I Going to Sleep Tonight lyrics - Country

(Parrottsville, TN)

Where Am I Going to Sleep Tonight lyrics

Had a house with a picket fence
Had to go…couldn’t pay the rent
Now I’m living out of my car
Cause my last paycheck didn’t go far

My job at the factory shut down
They do it cheaper in Mexico
So, I’m waiting in line to buy gas
For a car they’re going to repo

They say it’s not a recession
That makes everything alright
Sure lifts my depression
Now where am I going to sleep tonight?

I’ve got two degrees & a resume
A lot of good they’re doing me today
Even politicians now say to pray
Where were they yesterday?

If this is the American Dream
Let me in on the joke
Cause I’m getting ready to scream
I’m damn near flat broke!

They say it’s not a recession
That makes everything alright
Sure lifts my depression
Now where am I going to sleep tonight?

I should have been a priest
Then I could take confessions
Or I should have been a thief
So I could steal some progression

Instead, I’m just a working man left with nowhere to stand
No job, no home, no family
Don’t close your eyes…don’t buy their lies
Wake up…I am the majority!

They say it’s not a recession
That makes everything alright
Sure lifts my depression
Now where am I going to sleep tonight?
