[Verse 1]
Dm A Dm
The only way to roll is off the books
Dm Gm A
Never really up to any good
Gm Dm
I've been a shoeless cobbler for as long as I remember
A Dm
And I'm always having trouble staying put

[Verse 2]
Dm A Dm
Sorry, I'm no longer taking checks
Dm Gm A
Pay me bills no larger than a ten
Gm Dm
The less you own, the more you get to hitch a ride and leave
Gm F C
The longer that you stay, you're just a fading mystery
Bb F C
And the more they buy, the more you'll sell the junk you'll never need
Dm A Dm
So the only way to roll is off the books

[Clarinet Solo]
Dm A Dm
Dm Gm A
Gm Dm
A Dm

[Verse 3]
Dm A Dm
You see me on the corner in the rain
Dm Gm A
Just waiting for the vans to hit the brakes

You say
Gm Dm
Apprentice is hung over, can you haul a stack of lumber?
A Dm
Can you fill the holes before a coat of paint

[Verse 4]
Dm A Dm
I say, I stand knee-deep in shit
Dm Gm A
I wish my well upon your lazy kids

They say
Gm Dm
He's such an able worker, thing or two about the trade
Gm F C
If only he would stay in one place for more than days
Bb F C
And earn a wage instead of running 'round and getting paid
