Ain't that the way the luck goes |
|
Seems like it never can be found |
|
Break my back to make those bank notes |
|
Payin' on an almost always broken down |
|
Fix that car nine ways to sunday |
|
And it won't start again when monday rolls around |
|
Ain't that the way the rent goes |
|
Seems like it's never goin' down |
|
And that banker's bound to foreclose |
|
At this rate, i'll lose my interest in this town |
|
Paint the walls mend the windows |
|
'bout the time the roof comes crumblin' to the ground |
|
I've been footin' the bill for some time |
|
Stretchin' my credit out of line |
|
Well i may not get ahead but now i won't be far behind |
|
I've got one more payment and it's mine |
|
We're gonna swing it |
|
Ain't that the way the heart goes |
|
Seems they just attack without a sign |
|
My mind's been on vacation |
|
And my body's been workin' overtime |
|
But i've done all that i can do |
|
There's just one more balance due before it's mine |
|
I've been footin' the bill for some time |
|
Step by step and line by dotted line |
|
Well i haven't bought the farm yet |
|
But i'm not that far behind |
|
I've got one more payment and it's mine |
|
One more payment and it's mine |
|
One more payment and it's mine |
|
One more |
|
One more |
|
One more |
