Lie Upon My Bones

from Close to Home by Laura Meyer

lyrics

Who do I gotta sleep with
To keep food upon the table
Who do I gotta sleep with
To keep my body goin’

How long must I keep this
Lie upon my shoulders
How long must I keep this
Lie upon my bones

We all got our number
We all got our price
We all gotta get something
Tell me, does that make it wrong or right?

Yeah, you got my number
Yeah, you called it right
You, you got nothing
Nothing but the stuff I like

Who do I gotta sleep with
To keep food on the table
Who do I gotta sleep with
To keep my body goin’

How long must I keep this
Lie upon my shoulders
How long must I keep this
Lie upon my bones

You, you got nothing
No money all your life
But you, you got something
Something that feels so right.
