Featuring Mary Johanson

lyrics

My life's been tough
Oh, money's been tight
The fans still love me and I hope it'll be alright
Got too many bills and some, nasty ills
Better get to work and forget those expensive thrills

Ya know, I owe MYSELF so much money baby
I don't know if I'll ever pay me back

The bands still rockin', Oh, we had a good night
But, after my bar tab, I'm gonna' be a little light
Then, its time Mr. landlord, Oh he comes around knockin'
He's a scary guy named Jack

Ya know, I owe myself so much money baby
I don't know if I'll ever pay me back

My old lady left me
She called me, Mr. trash
I got stuck with her bills baby, but I kept all his stash
She was such a loser, never gave me any slack
I'll find a new girlfriend, who's way better in the sack

Ya know, I owe myself so much money baby
I don't know if I'll ever pay me back

Every time I turn around, there's someone lookin' for me
Everybody wants their money
But, I say hey, there nothing here to see
I can't take this any more of this moo-la-la, non-stop anxiety

Ya know, I owe myself so much money baby
I don't know if I'll ever pay me back

I've done some damage and you know, it's not good
Some bookie's are after me and trouble's in my likelihood
Hope I don't find myself gettin', 'ya know, whacked
And, end up stuffed in the trunk of a big 'ol Cadillac

Ya know, I owe myself so much money baby
I don't know if I'll ever pay me back

Every time I turn around, there's someone staring at me
Everybody wants their money, I say hey… Let me be
If I don't watch out, I'm gonna' be right back in that rotten, sleazy, Penitentiary

Ya know, I owe myself so much money baby
I don't know if I'll ever pay me back
