ONE PAYCHECK (from the blues)
2/25/09 Mike Lyzenga
Well the boss man called me in his office just the other day,
he said I’ve got to let you go son cause I just can’t afford your pay,
he said he was sorry to have to give me bad news,
now I’m only one paycheck away from the blues
Yeah there’s folks all over the world, goin’ through the same thing
They’re sittin’there all day waitin’ for the telephone to ring
Everywhere you look around times are gettin’ tough
There’s poor folks just like me just about had enough
well I should-a seen it comin’ cause lately cause things were getting’ slow,
and people just can’t pay their bills when they got way too much they owe,
yeah you can read it in the paper yeah it’s on the tv news
everybody’s only one paycheck away from the blues
Something better happen and it better happen quick
All you rich folks out there better open up better open up your bag of tricks
Cause there’s millions of good folks like me with nothing else to lose
We’re all just livin’ one paycheck away from the blues
well it’s gonna be ok baby, yeah we’ll make ends meet
I’ll stick with you darlin’ if you stick with me
times are tough all over, but darlin’ we’ll get through
it won’t be easy livin’ one paycheck away from the blues
one paycheck…. away….
We’re just one, we’re just one, we’re just one paycheck away
one paycheck away from the blues…
