song lyrics  Down Payment Blues lyrics

I know that it s evil
I know that it s got to be
I know I ain t doing much
Doing nothing means a lot to me
Living on a shoe string
A fifty cent millionaire
Open to charity
Rock n roller welfare
Sitting in my Cadillac
Listening to my radio
Suzy baby get on in
Tell me where she want to 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
CHORUS:
I ve 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 want to cry
Sheriff knocking on my door
Ain t it funny how the time flies
Sitting on my sailing boat
Sipping off my champaign
Suzy baby all at sea [Suzy baby you re obscene]
Say she want to come again
Feeling like a paper cup
[Floating | Blowing] down a storm drain
Got myself a sailing boat
But I can t afford the gasoline [...afford a drop of rain]
But I can t afford to gather way [gather way - navigation - To attain headway. ]

CHORUS
