| Miscellaneous |
| 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 |
