Won the lottery Song forEric the gardener

[Verse 1]
Checked the winning numbers against the morning dew
Six zeros didn't change the way I pull weeds
Traded the rusted Chevy for a matte black Rover
The tailgate drops, smelling like mulch and Italian leather
Stepping onto the emerald lawn in designer work boots
The neighbors watch the rim sparkle in the sun
I still keep the heavy iron rake in the back
Handling the soil like I’m counting out large bills
The financial ascent felt like climbing a giant oak
From the basement apartment to the hilltop estates
But the dirt under my nails feels more real
I don’t need the status, just the better view
Visualizing the garden layout while the violins play
My focus is sharp as the new titanium shears
The climb was steep but the grass is greener
Keeping the perspective from the highest garden terrace

[Chorus]
(Roots run deep in the dark earth)
Still clipping hedges with these steady hands
(Fortune won't change the natural plan)
Just moving through the zip codes in style
Luxury truck parked on the edge of the mulch
Wealth is just fertilizer for a better life
(He keeps the blade sharp)

[Verse 2]
The client offers a drink on the marble patio
I decline, focused on the symmetry of the boxwood
Street philosophy taught me to finish the contract first
Loyalty to the craft matters more than the bank
I remember the winter when the radiator died
Now the heated steering wheel warms my palms
The duality of the grit and the silk fabric
Wearing a luxury watch while digging the trenches
No paranoia here, just the peace of the pruning
Watching the perennials return for the new season
A legacy built on top of the limestone walls
The game of chance favored the man with the shovel
I navigate the neighborhood like a master strategist
Each flower bed is a square on the chessboard
Humble heart, but the equipment is top tier
Transitioning from the struggle to the sophisticated life

[Chorus]
(Roots run deep in the dark earth)
Still clipping hedges with these steady hands
(Fortune won't change the natural plan)
Just moving through the zip codes in style
Luxury truck parked on the edge of the mulch
Wealth is just fertilizer for a better life
(He keeps the blade sharp)

[Outro]
(The gardener remains)
(Rooted in the soil)
(Winning in the sun)
