Description
Surrounded by friends and family who were severely affected by the harsh economic downturns, Beebe and Aaron Myers (keys/vocals) sat down to write an honest song about life, financial hardships, and self discovery. "Nine to Chain" is not only a beautifully written song, it is a painting to help others find happiness where it truly matters.
Lyrics
“Nine to Chain” Written by Cody Beebe and Aaron Myers Verse Sitting here in the valley, begging for some change Gotta’ get me some money, I’m tired of this game People up on the hillside, seems they’ve got it good Going through some hard times in my neighborhood Chorus 1 God I hope I’m working on the weekend If I had a job, I swear I won’t complain Sometimes you just need something to believe in A little shelter from the wind and rain Verse So throw on some Willie, crank up Steve Earle ‘Cause they wrote their sad songs in this same world We gotta’ find some hope how, gotta’ find some grace Put that frown away and put a smile on my face Chorus 2 When everybody’s working for the weekend This nine to five is more like a ball and chain Sometimes you just need something to believe in A little shelter from the wind and rain Bridge I really need some shelter, baby, while I’m breaking these chains I really need some shelter, baby, to get away from everything Where the reach is too far for this nine to chain I really need some shelter, baby Verse Sitting here in the valley, begging for some change Gotta’ get me some money, I’m tired of this game Chorus 3 When everybody’s working for the weekend They don’t even take the time to feel the rain We all have something to believe in A little shelter from all this pleasure and pain
