We've been selling off our books and records
Instruments our grandparents played
We've been selling off our books and records
But we're gonna buy them back some day
For the last two years the rent keeps getting higher
And our neighbors all have cars we can't afford
I'm working two jobs now and, brother, I stay tired
But we could always stand to make a little more
The way it goes I doubt we'll be here by December
We both know there's gonna have to be a break
I priced my blood to try and turn back on our power
Oh, Lord, there's got to be a better way
We've been selling off our books and records
Instruments our grandparents played
We've been selling off our books and records
But we're gonna buy them back some day
These past few winters have been harder than expected
Unknown numbers call us all hours of the day
Both been learning how to cook our suppers cheaper
And stretch it out until we get paid
The way it goes, I doubt we ever will retire
But the cast iron will be seasoned well by then
And if we're lucky we'll have moments by the fire
Put some records on and read a book again
We've been selling off our books and records
Instruments our grandparents played
We've been selling off our books and records
But we're gonna buy them back some day
And down at Tommy's Pawn, there's an unheard song
Buried in my grandpa's guitar
By a box of antique photos I got when granny Marie passed on
We learned hard to take it on the chin
Get our bills caught up in time to fall behind again
We've been selling off our books and records
Instruments our grandparents played
We've been selling off our books and records
But we're gonna buy them back some day
