Debtors' Prison

If I was a betting man
 I wouldn't bet on me
 I've been knocked down before
 I got back on my feet
 Guess I know just what you mean
 When you can't get out of bed
 All behind the 8-ball honey
 You're never gonna get ahead
 And I first met my Lulu
 Not at a bar, at the DMV
 She said you don't get it sir
 This motorcycle it's a part of me
 I was driving a taxi then
 She said what is your going rate?
 When you fall too much in love
 And then it's much too late
 Come on put my back against the wall
 Come on Sam, take it all
 It's a big old world and I'm too small to see
 You put us in Debtors' Prison, I'm still gonna be free
 Lulu was a pretty good painter
 She did every wall on the block
 Things were going all right then
 'Til somebody called the cops
 They got her down at the temple precinct she said
 You gotta get me out of here
 Sold my taxi to a friend of mine and
 Bought a six pack of beer
 Me and Lulu we had a couple of kids
 Two at the very same time
 Nearly laughed at the hospital bill
 A hundred thousand dollars on the dotted line
 The credit company said you've reached your limit sir
 And I said you're telling me
 Living on tacos and formula bottles in a
 Tent in Ventura county
 Come on put my back against the wall
 Come on Sam, take it all
 It's a big old world and I'm down on my knees
 Put us in Debtors' Prison, I'm still gonna be free
 Oh, so far away, so far away from what I wanted
 Oh, they took it all away but I'm never taking you for
 Granted
 If I was a betting man
 I wouldn't bet on me
 Got me stuck in the overdraft
 Mean old man Morgan, J.P
 I guess I know just what you mean
 When you can't get out of bed
 We're all behind the 8-ball honey,
 Never gonna get ahead
 Come on put my back against the wall
 Come on Sam, take it all
 Come on put my back against the wall
 Come on Sam take it all
 Well I guess I never knew what I wanted to be.
 You put us in Debtors' Prison
 I'm still gonna be free
 You put us in Debtors' Prison
 I'm still gonna be free
 You put us in Debtors' Prison
 I'm still gonna be free
