The exhilaration of winning the lottery along with the anxiety of carelessly losing it all was wonderfully captured in “I Just Won a Million Dollars”. As the fourth track on Cobb’s 2019 8-track album, Unreleased 2015-2018, the lyrics and voice cracks combine to form this lively tune that swirls with...
[Wealth Sounds]
[Verse 1]
Well the title says it all
I think I just won the Powerball
Should I tell any of my friends?
Well human nature is ugly so that depends
A million isn't very much
Your bills are high and you like buying stuff
Buy a fancy car, get a classy girl
Maybe cop a plane and explore the world
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, whoa
How does it feel to be a rich man now?
Whoa
I would tell you but I don't know how
[Chorus]
I just won a million dollars
It just might solve all my problems
You can win a million dollars, too
I just won a million dollars
It has solved one or two problems
If I can win the money, so can you
[Verse 2]
Taxman comes to my door
He says, "Rates are gonna be high this month"
I'm like, "Fuck you, that sounds like theft"
He said, "You don't know how basic economics work"
Well fuck me, I guess he's right
Looks like we're living without lights tonight
We love to have nice things
I'll buy a shiny guitar with expensive strings
[Pre-Chorus]
Whoa
How does it feel to be a millionaire?
Whoa
I would tell you but I just don't care
[Chorus]
I just won a million dollars
It just might solve all my problems
You can win a million dollars, too
I just won a million dollars
Maybe now I can retire
That's a fucking joke, I'll just go broke
[Bridge]
I can't go to sleep
They all want my money
I can't risk losing everything that I need
[Spoken]
Announcer:
You just won one million dollars!
What are you going to do?
Billy:
I'm gonna buy--I'm gonna buy a new house
I'm gonna buy a car
I'm gonna buy a private army
Announcer:
That sounds wonderful
Get out of here!
No seriously, get the fuck out
[Chorus]
I just won a million dollars
It just might solve all my problems
You can win a million dollars, too
I just won a million dollars
Still can't pay off all my scholars
I'll die a happy man if I die soon
