Started work on a new album tentatively called, Sad Bastard Ballads. Here’s the first song I recorded for it (actually it’s the second, I’ll post the other song tomorrow). This song was recorded in one take.

High Hopes

I got nothing but high hopes
That’s why I feel so low
Every single morning I wake up
Feeling low down in the dumps
Check my mail and find another bill
I’m spending more money than I’m making
I got nothing but high hopes
That’s why I feel so low

I got nothing but a fever
That’s why I feel so low
I should see a doctor but I’m too poor
Can’t afford to walk through the door
The health insurance companies are doing fine
The medical underwriting’s helping
I got nothing but high hopes
That’s why I feel so low

I got nothing but a shit job
That’s why I feel so low
It’s hard to make a living on no cash
Minimum wage is a joke
All the higher ups are millionaires
I’m stuck struggling for a dollar
I got nothing but high hopes
That’s why I feel so low
