Just Let Me Hold My Paycheck

歌詞

It's such a wonderful feelin' Leavin' work on Friday night I'd given the boss man a good week's work And I'm clutchin' my paycheck tight I stop at the 7-Eleven To get a six-pack to go But a 40-ounce is now all I can afford 'Cause by bank account's gettin' so low I used to love to go to the races Yeah, I love to go to the track I love to bet on that roulette wheel And I always put my money on black But now when I pull into the driveway My wife's standin' there waitin' on me As I'm comin' in, she's on her way out And that's the last of my paycheck I see Just let me hold my paycheck And set awhile before you go Let me sit here and fantasize Of all the things I now forego I used to have foldin' money Played the ponies and in general had a ball Just let me hold my paycheck Before you cash it on the way to the mall My old days of wheelin' and dealin' Are gone, I'm the first to admit I've had to adapt to a new lifestyle That's entirely for her benefit I work for a boss man all week long And another boss every night He oughta send the paycheck straight to her That's my quandary, my trouble, my plight Just let me hold my paycheck And set awhile before you go Let me sit here and fantasize Of all the things I now forego I used to have foldin' money Played the ponies and in general had a ball Just let me hold my paycheck Before you cash it on the way to the mall Someday I'm gonna keep on drivin' And I'll smile as I'm passin' by It'll be funny to see her face As I give a little nod and say, "Hi" But she'll know just where that I'm goin' To the track like all the times before Around the third race she'll grab my ear And drag me out the door Just let me hold my paycheck And set awhile before you go Let me sit here and fantasize Of all the things I now forego I used to have foldin' money Played the ponies and in general had a ball Just let me hold my paycheck Before you cash it on the way to the mall Before you cash it on the way to the mall Before you cash it on the way to the mall
