Lyrics

[INTRO]
Woke up this mornin', my heart's in a bind,
Lookin' for some answers, but they're so hard to find.
In a world full of worries, just tryin' to survive,
I feel like a ghost, can't seem to feel alive.

[VERSE 1]
Try to chase my dreams, but they're slippin' away,
Every dollar I’m earnin' gets swallowed by the gray.
Need to buy a little life for a thousand or two,
But the weight of the world keeps on pressin' through.

[CHORUS]
Oh, I need to buy some livin', can I purchase a smile?
Trade a handful of sorrow, just for a little while.
With every shady deal, I’m tryin' to find my way,
In this bluesy auction, baby, I’m here to play.

[VERSE 2]
Lingerin' in shadows, watchin' time drag on,
In the market of sadness, feelin' so withdrawn.
Price tags on the laughter, and the joy’s so pricey,
Wish I could own a heartbeat, but it feels so dicey.

[CHORUS]
Oh, I need to buy some livin', can I purchase a smile?
Trade a handful of sorrow, just for a little while.
With every shady deal, I’m tryin' to find my way,
In this bluesy auction, baby, I’m here to play.

[BRIDGE]
But I reminisce on moments, where the sunlight used to gleam,
Hopin’ that the shadows fade, and I can feel that dream.
Life ain't just a currency, it’s love and time combined,
I’ll search on every street, until I find that peace of mind.

[CHORUS]
Oh, I need to buy some livin', can I purchase a smile?
Trade a handful of sorrow, just for a little while.
With every shady deal, I’m tryin' to find my way,
In this bluesy auction, baby, I’m here to play.

[OUTRO]
So I’ll carry this burden, look for a brighter day,
In the marketplace of heartache, I’m just tryin’ to stay.
If I can find my rhythm, and let my worries fade,
I’ll sing my blues for freedom
