Week to Week

Two by fours, staple gun
Concrete slab, burning sun
Two lots down, drywall's done
Inspector says he's coming at noon
I got a paint guy bitching like he's dying to fight
Half his crew went to jail last night
He says the bail's gonna break him
And it just might if we don't see a sold sign soon

Week to week, dust to dust
Live off the draw while you're waiting to bust
Ain't never met a local that trusted us
So we take them when they trust themself

All my life, from town to town
Build where they're moving from miles around
We heard about the plant so we came down
When the last town closed its doors
I put my wife and kids in a model home
I got this greedy fool, he co-signed my loan
He thinks I'm a hayseed but he don't know
I've been down this road before

Week to week, dust to dust
Live off the draw while you're waiting to bust
Ain't never met a local that trusted us
So we take them when they trust themself
We take them when they trust themself

Well there's another town a few states from here
I've been hearing about a boom for over a year
A friend of mine tells me that the sky is clear
He's working on a framing crew
Got my punch list done, it's out of my hair
They're trying to cut me out now, but I don't care
I'm gonna call my buddy up and move down there
If I don't see a sold sign soon

Week to week, dust to dust
Live off the draw while you're waiting to bust
Ain't never met a local that trusted us
So we take them when they trust themself
We take them when they trust themself
