[Verse 1]
You got that big mouth grin
And a wallet full of dust
Talkin' like a king on a hill
But your pride ain't worth much
You spit out wisdom cheap
Like it came off a shelf
Common sense is free
But you still poor yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep callin' it fate
I call it a mess
You blame every devil
But the mirror knows best
[Chorus]
Common sense is free
But you're still poor
Common sense is free
You keep beggin' for more
Say it all you want
With your hand on the door
Common sense is free
But you're still poor
[Verse 2]
Your truck got a dented hood
And a broken radio
You chase every fast buck
Then wonder where it go
You wear that hard luck face
Like a badge you earned
But the same old lesson
Is the one you never learned
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep callin' it fate
I call it a mess
You blame every devil
But the mirror knows best
[Chorus]
Common sense is free
But you're still poor
Common sense is free
You keep beggin' for more
Say it all you want
With your hand on the door
Common sense is free
But you're still poor
[Bridge]
Mama said, boy, listen close
Some things don't cost a dime
But if you won't take the truth
You pay for it all the time
Yeah, you pay for it all the time
[Final Chorus]
Common sense is free
But you're still poor
Common sense is free
You keep beggin' for more
Say it all you want
With your hand on the door
Common sense is free
But you're still poor
Common sense is free
But you're still poor
