Liam St. John - to the last penny (Stripped Back)

Well, I once was a married man
But she ain't like the songs I sang
She stopped calling me honey
Took all of my money
I fell in love with a girl named mary jane
Had a threeway with her best friend cocaine
I know it's funny
But they took all of my goddamn money
I ain't got no money
I ain't got no peace
I ain't got one thing left to my name but this six-string
I know I'm not that lucky
But that don't bother me
Yeah, to the last penny I have I'll bet it all on me
Well the preacher always saying that we owe him a tenth
Cuz the Lord wanted him to have a private jet
So every Sunday, the preacher took all of my money
I signed a deal with the devil at seventeen
Now he takes a cut of every single breath I breathe
He sure was cunning, and lighting fast at taking my money
I ain't got no money
I ain't got no peace
I ain't got one thing left to my name but this six-string
I know I'm not that lucky
But that don't bother me
Yeah, to the last penny I have I'll bet it all on me
I paid my dues singing for a sip of jack
But now I know my songs are worth more than that
So don't be frontin'
Bitch better have my money
You better have my money
You better pay my fees
Yeah I put everything I am into this six-string
This ain't cuz I'm lucky
This shit ain't free
Yeah I spent years of empty hands and bloody knees
Yeah I put everything I am into this six-string
Yeah to the last penny I have I'll bet it all on me
