Feel like I start swingin´
Soon as my two feet hit the floor
The hands of time keep spinnin´
Everybody knockin´ down my door
Ya know I get a little nervous

When my telephone starts to ring
Ol´ credit man keeps callin´
He ain´t gettin´ a goddamn thing

I can´t make the wheels roll
With your first check in the hole
I wish I could click my heels
And jump on the golden road
I´d be walkin´
Yes, I would

There´s gonna come a day
You will hear me say

Oh, give me all that I can carry
Oh, said it´s cheaper by the pound
Oh, come on, baby, doncha worry
Let´s live it up till we can´t live it down

Can´t live it down

Reachin´ up from the bottom
I tell ya it´s a bitch
It´s a helluva thing to break your back
Just to make another man rich

Ain´t no pie in the sky
When you´re barely gettin´ by
Every day´s on layaway
And it´s tryin´ to bleed me dry
Got me runnin´
Yes, I am

Honey, fill my cup
Yeah, we gonna live it up

Oh, give me all that I can carry

Oh, said it´s cheaper by the pound
Oh, come on, baby, doncha worry
Let´s live it up till we can´t live it down

Let it loose mama
I can see that ship comin´ in
Let it loose mama
Yeah, we gonna get down again, gonna get down

Oh, give me all that I can carry
Oh, said it´s cheaper by the pound
Oh, come on, baby, doncha worry
Let´s live it up till we can´t live it down
Can´t live it down
Can´t live it down
