Champagne Taste (On a Beer Budget)
Champagne Taste （On a Beer Budget）-Home Free
The other day I checked my bank account
I could swear it was the wrong amount
And I didn't understand
Cause I've been working hard
For the life of me
I didn't know where it went
I hadn't even payed the rent
Then the Mercedes pulled up in the yard
Oh Lord I should have seen it coming
This time I'm in deep
Now I'm heading to poor house
You're heading to jail
And if I end up there I ain't making bail
And if it goes to court
I sure don't have a case
Cause I ran out of money some time ago
But if you look at my wife you'd never know
I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste
On a beer budget
When my throat dried up
And my heart just sunk
As she motioned me over
And I popped the trunk
And I tried to ignore her absent minded smile
Then boy I was greeted by quite the crew
This Louis Vuitton and some Jimmy Choo
And that was just the fellas
That were sitting on top of the pile
I said "Baby there's a Walmart a block away
And I don't think they sell these brands "
Now I'm heading to poor house
You're heading to jail
And if I end up there I ain't making bail
And if it goes to court
I sure don't have a case
Cause I ran out of money some time ago
But if you look at my wife you'd never know
I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste
On a beer budget
All the bills are in my name
They're gonna haul my a**away
And I won't see her pretty face at all
Cause the prison's nowhere near the mall
Now I'm heading to poor house
You're heading to jail
And if I end up there I ain't making bail
And if it goes to court
I sure don't have a case
Cause I ran out of money some time ago
But if you look at my wife you'd never know
I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste
