Beer Money, Wine Taste

If you could read my mind you'd know that I'd never talk And if I could stretch a mile you'd know that I'd never walk But I've got to get up to go to work to my nine to five To keep the pace in this rat race I have to survive But this minimum wage pay will never help me out Lord So I need more cause I want more than I can afford (Channel) Cause all my friends are driving Benz's and wearing expensive clothes With bigger houses and finer foods so this is my status in quo I've got beer money, I've got wine taste Can you see it in my eyes, its written on my face Give me this, give me that and I don't want to wait But I've got beer money, I've got wine taste And uh~ beer money, and uh~ wine taste Always make me wanna haste but that leads to waste So I'm praying for some patience and little more grace With my~ beer money and my~ wine taste (Chorus) But my money and my patience's short, the line is long And when things start looking right in life what's left is wrong I need extra strength this and I need fast relief that Someone call western union hurry cause I need some cash To pay my debts and all my bills, I'm planning to buy a lot Because I'm always wanting something that I just don't got (Channel) Cause all my friends are driving Benz's and wearing expensive clothes With bigger houses and finer foods so this is my status in quo I've got beer money, I've got wine taste Can you see it in my eyes, its written on my face Give me this, give me that and I don't want to wait But I've got beer money, I've got wine taste And uh~ beer money, and uh~ wine taste Always make me wanna haste but that leads to waste So I'm praying for some patience and little more grace With my~ beer money and my~ wine taste (Chorus) (Bridge) I need designer hats and jeans, A limousine on the scene To keep up with the Jones; I need some precious stones. I want to be in the spotlight In restaurants day and night With the means to these ends nonstop; I wanna be filthy rich so I can shop. (Chorus)
