Lyrics

The Auction Song
Kot/Janotta DeMars Music 2018


(verse 1)
High bid again everybody’s going to moan
When I pull in this drive hauling all this stuff home
Had my arm up just scratching my head
If I buy another thing may be better off dead

(verse 2)
Must be in the blood spirit of a man
Can’t pass up a bargain gotta do it while you can
Not getting any younger please forgive my sins
The one with the most toys at the end always wins

(chorus)
Cause you never know when the seller has it
Why in the world didn’t I just quit
Two dozen lawnmowers packed in the truck
One Man’s treasure is another man’s junk.

(verse 3)
Living life’s dream never have enough
Making space for these deals is gonna be tough
Stacked to the ceiling blocking the door
If I move some things might be room for some more

(chorus)
Cause you never know when the seller has it
Why in the world didn’t I just quit
Hundreds of records stuffed in the trunk
One Man’s treasure is another man’s junk

(guitar solo)

(chorus)
Cause you never know when the seller has it
Why in the world didn’t I just quit
Two old guitars packed in the trunk
One Man’s treasure is another man’s junk
