Lyrics
The third wheel on the Kroger cart had a nervous kinda squeak
Fluorescent lights were humming, it was Tuesday, middle of the week
Maya had her hand inside the freezer case, pulling at the glass
Said "Daddy, can we get the one with rockets?" knowing I would ask
The price tag, and I squinted, man, the numbers did a dance
Saw the balance on the app this morning, couldn't take the chance
But her face was lit up different, so I tossed it in the front
Stood in line behind a lady counting coupons for a month.
[Chorus]
This that dry weight, feeling hollowed out and vacant
Just the frame without the payment, ain't no way you can replace it
This that dry weight, smile you use to hide the statement
When the total's what you're making and the plastic starts to scraping.
[Verse 2]
Got the little red light flicker, heard the beep that I was dreading
Cashier wouldn't meet my eyes, I felt the panic start embedding
"Sir, it looks like this was cancelled." Voice was flat, a monotone
Felt a hundred people staring, but the two of us were all alone
I knelt down, looked at Maya, fixed the collar on her coat
Felt the engine in my chest cavity was failing, couldn't float
"'Scuse me, must've left my wallet in the F-150's side door"
Knew that lie was thin as water on a greasy kitchen floor.
[Bridge]
(Drums and vocal only)
Gas bill. Light bill. Overdraft. Child care.
Tire tread. Brake pad. Empty fridge. Cold air.
[Outro]
Just the tick-tick of the turn signal on Buford Highway... fading.
