(A. Young M. Young B.Scott)

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
