Goin' Down With The Joneses (©2009 Bob Beckley/Ronnie Lee Hurst) We always copied whatever our neighbors would do If there was somethin' they bought, we would have to get one, too New truck, bass boat or satellite dish We never crossed nothin' off our Christmas list Then the stock market buried our 401K I got laid off, now I'm sorry to say (Chorus): We're goin'down with the Joneses in a sea of debt Down with the Joneses and we ain't hit bottom yet The bills keep pourin' in and there's no one to bail us out We're goin' down with the Joneses, Lord, help us somehow Now it's red beans and rice and a lot of macaroni and cheese The piggybank's broke and the dog's down to eatin' fleas Yard sales, coupons, we're feelin' the pinch It's time to tighten up the belt another full inch With the mortgage overdue and no money to pay We turned to your mom but she turned us away (Chorus): We're goin'down with the Joneses in a sea of debt Down with the Joneses and we ain't hit bottom yet The bills keep pourin' in and there's no one to bail us out We're goin' down with the Joneses, Lord, help us somehow (Bridge): I called up the preacher for some healin' words But I hung up the phone just as soon as I heard (Chorus): We're goin'down with the Joneses in a sea of debt Down with the Joneses and we ain't hit bottom yet The bills keep pourin' in and there's no one to bail us out We're goin' down with the Joneses, Lord, help us somehow We're goin' down with the Joneses, Lord, help us somehow
