Flat Busted

(album: Family Joules - 2003)

Well, it's all over town
I'm back in the lost and found
And can't figure out who
Stuck me in this place that I'm in
Was it the tall blonde my downfall
Or the writing on my body and all over the wall

Hey everybody, there was my friend
You know I'd do it over again

Now I'm flat busted and out of gas
Ain't got no job, but lots of class
I'll be O.K. when it's all through
As long as baby I got you

Well, here we go again
Well, we're spinning our wheels on the road again
When right of nowhere
We're hijacked by these chicks from the zoo
Well, by the morning we was looking pale
The man in blue wants our money for bail
My lawyer said it's sink or swim
I swear I'm never drinking again

Now I'm flat busted and out of gas
Ain't got no job, but lots of class
I'll be O.K. when it's all through
As long as baby I got you

You know it never fails
Try to be good but my train derails
You know I work so hard
Try to be good fall asleep in my car
You know it can't be true
Thought I was smart but I ain't got a clue
All this frustration, it's got me again
I always end up back where I began

So take it from one whose nose
Knows all about things he'll never disclose
Unless it comes down to playing that rhythm and blues

Cause it's one for the money, two for the show
Three for the party, hey baby let's go
Just take me where you want to go
And don't let anybody know

That I'm flat busted and out of gas
Ain't got no job, but lots of class
I'll be O.K. when it's all through
As long as baby I got you

You know I'm flat busted and out of gas
Ain't got no job, but lots of class
I'll be O.K. when it's all through
As long as baby I got, I got you and your wallet, too
