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 that time
the roof comes
Crumblin' to the ground
I've been footin' the bill
For some time
Stretchin' my credit
Outta 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
And my mind's
Been on vacation
And my body's been
A-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 lawd
