"Can't Cash My Checks" lyrics - JAMEY JOHNSON

I'm up every mornin' before the sunshine comes rollin' in
When that rooster starts crowin' and that reminds me - I need to feed him
And every day's the same, but every day's different
'Cause every day I go deeper in debt

[Chorus:]
And you can't cash my checks
And you can't feel this hunger
You can push me into the water
But you can't hold me under
And you can bring me down
But you can't make me beg
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks

It's so hard to stay honest in a world that's headed to hell
You can't make a good livin' these days, 'cause the fruit just won't sell
So if you go out my backdoor, just over the hill
You'll see all these plants that's been payin' my bills

[Chorus:]
But you can't cash my checks
And you can't feel this hunger
You can push me into cold water
But you can't hold me under
You can bring me down
But you can't make me beg
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks

[Interlude]

[Partial Chorus]
You can bring me down
But you can't make me beg
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks

[Outro:]
You can take my word
But you can't cash my checks
