When I Make My First Million
by BC Camplight

When I make my first million
I’ll try to reason with the good old days
Like when I lost all my feeling
And didn’t chase it when it walked away
Goodbye trouble, don't come to see me
I snap my fingers, send you straight to the gallows under my house

 When I make my first million
I’ll buy a friend with my big salary, he’ll say
"Mister you’re young and funny"
I’ll say "thanks, but call me by my name"
I’m a common man, got a common purpose
I just got lucky spending every morning thinking out loud

 Look at all the things you’ve done
Look at all the good that’s gone
Either you’ll be good to me
Or cut me like a livewire

 When I make my first million
I’ll buy my kids those damn football shoes, and I’ll
Wear her macaroni necklace
And tell my boy "I love you, win or lose"
Well this is magic, I don’t believe it
Everything was leading up to this
And then I’ll reach for a hand and it dawned on me then
There’s no family
My bones are broken and they ain’t mending
And all the spending has me back in the basement
Thinking out loud

 Look at all the things you’ve done
Look at all the good that’s gone
Look at all the things gone right
Look at all the time go by
Look at all the love you owe
Owe it to yourself like gold
Like gold, like gold, like gold, like god

 When I make my first million
I’ll come around again…
