Paycheck to Paycheck
by Doug Midgley
I can do it on the 15th
If it's before then, I can't go
That's just my situation
Don't make me proud to let you know
That I live paycheck to paycheck
I live paycheck to paycheck
I live paycheck to paycheck
I live paycheck to paycheck
The rent, the phone, the garbage
The water and the gas
All add me up to crazy
And my cash flow's gonna crash
And the new car I owe on
The battery's dead
"The insurance ran out
But drive careful," they said
And that's the day the accident happened
I can do it if it's Thursday
If it's before then I can't go
No, I don't bowl on Wednesdays
It's 'cause I'm broke if you must know
'Cause I live paycheck to paycheck
I live paycheck to paycheck
I live paycheck to paycheck
I live paycheck to paycheck
The Visa and the MasterCard
Could make a living on my debt
But first the rent and electric
I can't pay that plastic yet
And if I break my arm or leg
And they put it in a cast
Then it's the rent, the phone, and doctor's bills
And the plastic waits 'til last
'Cause I live paycheck to paycheck
I live paycheck to paycheck
I live paycheck to paycheck
I live paycheck to paycheck
