When I was a young man many years ago
I signed my name on the dotted line
It was a five-album deal
I figured my fate was sealed
It turns out I only got one try
And although I left them deep in debt
Every now and then I get a little check
Usually I don't pay it any mind
Oh, but right now times are hard
So I sit out in my car
And wait for the mailman to come by
And I got a six dollar check from Warner Brothers
I will take you down to the bar on the corner
Where the, where the whiskey is Jim Beam
I got enough to cover my friend and me
That's how I spend my six dollar check
Now people started noticing the good mood I was in
And all of the sudden I found myself a few new friends
And I just kept wishing that that check had been for ten
I was getting thirsty talking to them
Later when I went home, I took a look in the fridge
And all of the sudden I had myself a different wish
I should have bought a loaf of bread instead of those shots of gin
That's okay, I always wanted to be thin
And I got a six dollar check from Warner Brothers
I will take you down to the bar on the corner
Where the, where the whiskey is Jim Beam
I got enough to cover my friend and me
That's how I spend my six dollar check
Alright
Now I'm not sure if anybody works there anymore
They got a lister at the door but it's just for show
Oh and if there is anybody left
I'm pretty damn sure they do regret
The day they let this cowboy go
And I got a six dollar check from the Warner Brothers
I will take you down to the bar on the corner
Where the, where the whiskey is Jim Beam
I got enough to cover my friend and me
That's how I spend my six dollar check
I signed my name on the dotted line
It was a five-album deal
I figured my fate was sealed
It turns out I only got one try
And although I left them deep in debt
Every now and then I get a little check
Usually I don't pay it any mind
Oh, but right now times are hard
So I sit out in my car
And wait for the mailman to come by
And I got a six dollar check from Warner Brothers
I will take you down to the bar on the corner
Where the, where the whiskey is Jim Beam
I got enough to cover my friend and me
That's how I spend my six dollar check
Now people started noticing the good mood I was in
And all of the sudden I found myself a few new friends
And I just kept wishing that that check had been for ten

And all of the sudden I had myself a different wish
