Hypocrisy as it oughta be, that's called good business

Sometimes it really bothers me how i got in this

Took this job a-thinkin' i'd be movin' up some day

Been too busy drinkin' to be carin' either way



The wife she ain't been workin' 'cause her time is growing near

But the irs ain't takin' no sabbaticals this year

Working on commission against weekly guarantees

This soldier's on a mission but it ain't for charity



Chorus



Give me just one moment with the wheel between my hands

Just one moment, i'll make you understand

Don't confuse all the games you lose with failing as a man

Just one moment, i'll show you who i am



Went in to see the boss man to ask him for a raise

Never did quite understand all the reasons that he gave

His 8" x 10" of jesus had turned it's back to me

I guess mortal man can't comprehend that dense morality



So i bought my wife some roses and i tied them with a bow

Called the boss up at 3 am and i told him where to go

Now we're driving down the highway back to where we first began

With me back in the driver's seat and her holding my hand



Chorus
