Letting Down the Joneses

V6

[Verse 1] My neighbor got a bigger truck Mine still runs just fine His grass is clipped like a churchyard rug Mine's a little wild sometimes She bought a table made of glass I eat off pine and proof I don't need a mirror on my life To tell me what is true [Pre-Chorus] They can stack it up high They can chase that shine I don't need their kind of gold To sleep good at night [Chorus] I'm letting down the Joneses Letting them drive by I'm keeping what I got And I'm doing it with pride Letting down the Joneses I don't need more to be me If it fits my hands That's enough for me [Verse 2] My cousin wants the newest thing Still owes on what he wore I learned a hand-me-down can last Long after wanting more I want my name to sound like mine Not echoed off a fence I’d rather walk my own worn path Than be a copy in somebody's sense [Pre-Chorus] They can race that crowd I can tend my ground I don't need a parade To hear my heart sound [Chorus] I'm letting down the Joneses Letting them drive by I'm keeping what I got And I'm doing it with pride Letting down the Joneses I don't need more to be me If it fits my hands That's enough for me [Bridge] Let 'em match their curtains Let 'em count their cars I'm good with my old blue porch swing And a sky full of stars I am not a shadow I am not a trend I was made to stand my own Not fold where they bend [Final Chorus] I'm letting down the Joneses Letting them drive by I'm keeping what I got And I'm doing it with pride Letting down the Joneses I don't need more to be me If it fits my hands That's enough for me Letting down the Joneses Yeah, that's where I'm free
