Just got paid
Work by the hour
Minimum wage
Tax on the dollar
One month’s worth barely cleared $400
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Fishing for change in my neighbor’s cushions
Hope he don’t catch me
A quarter’s all I’m wishing for
So I can get some lunch
Super size a luxury
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Saving coupons to tape on ceiling cracks
Burned my checkbook to cook a frozen snack
Got no power
Bill is just a man’s name
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Work by the hour
Minimum wage
Tax on the dollar
One month’s worth barely cleared $400
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Fishing for change in my neighbor’s cushions
Hope he don’t catch me
A quarter’s all I’m wishing for
So I can get some lunch

Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy

Burned my checkbook to cook a frozen snack

Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
Yeah I’m down on my luck, I’ll be living in a truck
And it’s going down easy
