Country music star Blake Shelton‘s new single, “Minimum Wage,” is available everywhere now!
“I heard ‘Minimum Wage’ over a year ago and connected with it immediately,” shares Shelton. “It’s the timeless truth that you don’t need a lot of money or possessions, you just need love.”
Written by Nicolle Galyon, Corey Crowder, and Jesse Frasure, “Minimum Wage” builds on the foundation that love is priceless. “I relate so much to the lyrics of this song. I have a lot of great memories playing dive bars in Nashville and then driving back to Oklahoma to play a gig,” Shelton continues. “I gravitate toward songs that feel like the stories of where I’ve been and where I am currently in my life, and I’ve got a lot of happiness in joy in my life these days.”

“Minimum Wage” Lyrics
Yeah, I met you ‘fore anyone knew my name
Playin’ for pennies on the dive bar stage
Split an all-star special on our first date
In a Waffle House booth
Your daddy was cryin’ when he gave you away
‘Cause all those country songs I played
They didn’t come with a 401k
But hey, I had you
You can make a six pack on the carpet
Taste like a million dollar bill
You can make a one bed room apartment
Feel like a house up on the hill
You can make my truck out in the driveway
Roll like a cleaned up Cadillac
Girl, lookin’ at you lookin’ at me that way
Can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
You can give me a tab that’s always open
Give me a yacht parked out in the ocean
But all that keepin’ up with the Jones’
It just ain’t my style
Just give me some lights strung out in the yard
Give me a lawn chair under the stars
The top of the world’s right where you are
‘Cause every time you smile
You can make a six pack on the carpet
Taste like a million dollar bill
You can make a one bed room apartment
Feel like a house up on the hill
You can make my truck out in the driveway
Roll like a cleaned up Cadillac
Girl, lookin’ at you lookin’ at me that way
Can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
Girl, your love is money, your love is money
Yeah, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage
“Minimum Wage” follows back-to-back love songs with his fiancé and fellow The Voice coach, Gwen Stefani. “Nobody But You” and most recently “Happy Anywhere” both reached No. 1 on the country airplay charts, giving them consecutive No. 1 singles together and bringing Shelton his 28th career chart-topper.
2021 is already proving to be another busy year for Shelton as he is hard at work on season 20 of The Voice and is recording new music to be released later this year.
