lyrics

Verse 1:
I was working on a degree in film composition;
Scoring some movies & doing television;
Learning lots of music in styles I never knew;
If counting chord charts was considered a clue

Verse 2:
I got hired to make up cool guitar parts;
(But) it got rather difficult and seemed really dark;
It’s definitely material that makes you feel pressure;
Especially in the studio and that’s a lesson

Chorus:
Got Mailbox money;
Oh, believe me honey;
Got Mailbox Money;
It’s residual honey

Verse 3:
If you can read real well then you’ll make some green;
And believe me baby it’s really steady green;
There’s a handful of players all across the scene;
Who are workin’ night and day;
Just to make it on the screen

Repeat Chorus

Solo # 1 (Guitar)

Repeat Chorus

Solo # 2 (Keys)

Repeat Chorus

Verse 4:
The most profound advice ever given to me;
It must have been about the age of oh, 18;
The Engineer said, “Son, You gotta take the train,
You’d better have a ticket just to learn to play the game"

Verse 5:
Studio A is where the real deal goes down;
Get your experience from the highs & lows around;
I learned my instrument; always playing on my game;
Got my gear together and kept it well maintained

repeat Chorus
outro
