Down Payment Blues

DOWN PAYMENT BLUES

 (Young - Young - Scott)

 

 I know that it's evil

 I know that it's got to be

 Know I ain't doing much

 Doing nothing means a lot to me

 Living on a shoestring

 A fifty cent millionaire

 Open to charity

 Rock 'n' roll welfare

 

 Sitting in my Cadillac

 Listening to my radio

 Susy baby get on in

 Tell me where you wanna go

 I'm living in a nightmare

 She's looking like a wet dream

 I got myself a Cadillac

 But I can't afford the gasoline

 

 I got holes in my shoes

 And I'm way overdue

 Down payment blues

 

 Get myself a steady job

 Some responsibility

 Can't even feed my cat

 On social security

 Hiding from the rent man

 Oh it makes me wanna cry

 Sheriff knocking on my door

 Ain't it funny how the time flies

 

 Sitting on my sailing boat

 Sipping on my champagne

 Susy baby all at sea

 Say she wanna come again

 Feeling like a paper cup

 Floating down a storm drain

 Got myself a sailing boat

 But I can't afford a drop of rain

 

 I got holes in my shoes

 And I'm way overdue

 Down payment blues

 

 Down payment blues

 Down payment blues

 Down payment blues

 

 I got holes in my shoes

 And I'm way overdue

 I got the down payment blues
