Kick out the cat, turn back the clock
Ain't life sweet baby, look what I got
They took the TV honey, ohh, babe, now they took the car
I skipped the bills, yeah and I've been drinking at the bar

Ain't life a treat, it ain't so sweet
When you're down on down, down on down

The bank's foreclosing
And there's a foot inside my door
The telephone's not ringing
And I can't take it anymore

I'm off the track, my last six pack
And I'm down on down, going down
Ain't life a treat, it ain't so sweet
When you're going down, down on down

Hit me Shorty

My God the kids are screaming
And the help, she ain't been paid
My baby upped and left me
Well, I hope she's getting laid

Ain't life a treat, it ain't so sweet
When you're down on down, going down
I'm just bad luck, looks like I got stuck
Down on down, down on down

I took it to the limit, now I'm really in it
Going down, right on down
Just like the I.R.S. ohh, more is less
Going down, down on down
