Welfare Chet Songtext
von Joshua Ray Walker

Everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
Is it cause I live in my truck
I′m down on my luck
Or sometimes I smell like green?
I ain't got a dime, but what I got is mine
Ever since the state let me free
Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me

Every time you say I gotta go
I want to talk a little longer
Even when you′re walking to your ride
I come on a little stronger
Asking if you want to take a shot
But you end up buying my beer
Talking with a mouthful of food
But they don't serve food here


Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
Is it cause my welfare checks
Pay for motel room sex
And I lie about being clean?
Well, folks disagree, but they don't have the key
It′s my L-I-F-E
Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me

Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
Is it ′cause I live in my truck
I'm down on my luck
Or sometimes I smell like green?
I ain′t got a dime, but what I got is mine
Ever since the state let me free
Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me

Yeah, everybody wants to go home
But no one wants to go home with me
