Cuttin' Teeth

from The Highway and The Moon by The Heavy Set

/

lyrics

Cuttin’ my teeth, cuttin’ my gums
Livin' my life and still trying to have fun
The old routine is wearing thin
Livin’ on the edge of grace and sin

It all comes down to money
They say it don’t grow on trees
I used to think that was funny
But now it’s killin’ me

Payin’ my dues and circling round
Dollar for dollar, pound for pound
Keep it loose, trying to keep it tight
One of these days I’m gonna get it right
One of these days I’m gonna get it right

It all comes down to money
They say it don’t grow on trees
I used to think that was funny
But now it’s killin’ me

I never can get on top
I never can get ahead
They say it’s gonna be that way
'Til I’m dead
I better get it through my head

It all comes down to money
They say it don’t grow on trees
I used to think that was funny
But now it’s killin’ me

I never can get on top
I never can get ahead
Some say it’s gonna be that way
’Til I’m dead
I better get it through my head

There’s only one way out of this world
And it ain’t alive
There’s only one way out of this world
And it ain’t alive
There’s only one way out of this world
And it ain’t alive

Gonna live a life that I can be proud of when I die

about

The Heavy Set Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Heavy Set is a Minneapolis rock band rooted in blues and alt-country, pushing Americana to its harder edges. The heart- felt songwriting of Jake Ilika gets a grindstone treatment in The Heavy Set with guitar-forward echoes of Crazy Horse and Ryan Adams. Their third record, “The Highway & The Moon”, drives their sound harder and into new expanses with a genre-bending collection of songs. ... more
