Paper Crown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to count coins on the counter Ran the tank dry just to get downtown Wore the same boots every payday Had more month than I had around Momma said, boy, keep your chin up Better days got a way of showin' up [Pre-Chorus] Now I pull up on a long black driveway House so big you can barely see the porch From grit to grace, I came a long way And I don't pray for enough anymore [Chorus] You can't fathom my money Can't fit it in your mind I was broke last summer Now I'm rich by a country mile You call me lucky, honey I call it earned in time You stay small-talk poor I'm a whole new kind [Verse 2] Got a barn full of high-end toys Got a watch that cost more than your truck Got a whole lotta yes on my phone now Funny what changes when you level up I still know the taste of ramen Still remember every door that slammed [Pre-Chorus] Now my name on the gate out front And the bank don't blink when I walk in What I got ain't just luck and glitter It's a front-porch dream with a steel chin [Chorus] You can't fathom my money Can't fit it in your mind I was broke last summer Now I'm rich by a country mile You call me lucky, honey I call it earned in time You stay small-talk poor I'm a whole new kind [Bridge] I know the sound of empty pockets I know the weight of worry too So when I smile in a fresh-cut suit That don't mean I forgot where I grew I just turned every maybe Into a big ol' mountain of proof [Chorus] You can't fathom my money Can't fit it in your mind I was broke last summer Now I'm rich by a country mile You call me lucky, honey I call it earned in time You stay small-talk poor I'm a whole new kind [Outro] Broke dirt turned to gold Watch me walk that line You can't fathom my money And I ain't hard to find
