 The Best Damn Things In Life Are Free
 (alexander)
 Well i met her in college
 Hanging out at sigma chi
 Singing stoned and drunken versions
 Of american pie
 We picked up and married
 Soon as she got out of school
 I'd soon hit the big time
 Seemed like the thing to do
 I must have overlooked something
 ¡®cause i'm over my head
 But the best damn things in life are free
 And as long as i got your company
 That's what she said
 I'm not one for worrying
 ¡®bout dreams left unfulfilled
 But it's a long way to the ¡°garden¡±
 From the canton bar and grill
 And the wife's got a lifestyle
 That she's looking to maintain
 That these musicians wages
 Can't hope to sustain
 I'm running out of options
 I'm running out of time
 Just tell me how to make it pay
 If it takes me 27 hours a day
 I won't mind
 It's a matter of opinion
 Between right and wrong
 In you circles of distinction
 I can't last that long
 I know i'm not worth much
 To you financially
 But the best damn things in life are free
 Some read the wall street journal
 Some play the lottery
 Some invest in foreign lands
 That they have never seen
 Others roll the dice or spin the wheel
 Or play their hand
 Me, i learned to play guitar
 And joined a long haired band
