Kick out the cat / turn back the clock Ain't life sweet baby look what I got They took the TV honey Oh 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 [INSTRUMENTAL] 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. oh, more is less Going down / down on down
