I know that it's evil I know that it's gotta be I 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 Suzy baby get on in Tell me where she 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 make 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 Suzy 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 go the Down payment blues
