Cutting Corners:
Daddy was an only son
That’s probably why he just had one
Because one is enough
Yeah one is enough
With an iron will and time to kill
Took to doing as most young men will
As most young men will
Just trying to get their fill
Cutting corners
Never taking his time
Just cutting corners
Never waiting on that finish line
But there’s no race worth the win
If you gotta cut corners my friend
Momma always did what was right
Never so much as ran a red light
A red light
Kept both her hands in sight
With one on the way
Spent two weeks pay
One a couple of tickets
Hoping that the lottery will break
But it won’t break - it owes her one she thinks
She's Cutting Corners
Never taking her time
Just cutting corners
Never waiting on that finish line
But there’s no race worth the win
If you gotta cut corners my friend
And I tried my best to not be like them
But I’m my daddy’s only son
And my momma’s youngest one
I'm Cutting Corners
Never taking my time
Just cutting corners
Never waiting on that finish line
But there's no race worth the win
If you gotta cut corners my friend
