another ticket

i got another ticket that i just can't pay

it's hard to give some lovin' if you're broke in l.a.

little lady wrote me says

she's ready to play

well i'm just lookin' for a place to stay

the creditors are after me

like dust on a slave

insurancers got more use for me

after i'm in the grave

i'd love to live a million years

but i just can't behave

the mites will outlive all of us

I'd eat a little better

cause your body is a temple

I don't need to get ahead

i just need to keep from fallin

living 9 to 5

is a chain around my neck

i watched my daddy do it

said nothin left to show

nothing left to show for it

nothing left to show for it

nothing left to show for it

nothing left to show for it

they say write what you know

I'll do exactly that
