The Hustler

I've got something with me

My soul's kinda gritty

Now do I lie or run away

Engine, engine number 9

You get your way

Or I'll get mine

Sure as the sun will shine each day

Just like the apple

Temptress sets in

I win you're tackled

Shackles on my feet won't let me move

Not soft but supple

Come with all you got

My wings won't ruffle

Victory is sweet but I ain't scared to lose

In my house the moon still shines in the day

But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay

In my house feel free to dance like it's May

But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay

Mama can you hear me?

Papa I'm sittin' pretty

Don't have to shun my heart this time

I know when it really matters

It'll be me alone and regrets will be none

Just like the apple, temptress sets in

I win you're tackled

Shackles on my feet won't let me move

Not soft but supple

Come with all you got

My wings won't ruffle

Victory is sweet but I ain't scared to lose

In my house the moon still shines in the day

But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay

In my house feel free to dance like it's May

But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay

I'll be on my own, it don't matter I'm grown

I won't be singin' no sad song in the lay

And if I rub you wrong, baby, I come on strong

I got no mind to cushion what I say

In my house the moon still shines in the day

But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay

In my house feel free to dance like it's May

But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay

In my house the moon still shines in the day

But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay

In my house feel free to dance like it's May

But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay

In my house

(In the day)

In my house

(Won't you stay)

In my house

(In my house)

In my house

The room will shine

Shine in the day
