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 treatit 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 limitnow I'm really in it

Going down / right on down

Just like the i.r.s. ohmore is less

Going down / down on down
