Ain't that the way the luck goes
  Seems like it never can be found
  Break my back to make those bank notes
  Payin' on an almost always broken down
  Fix that car nine ways to Sunday
  And it won't start again when Monday rolls around
  Ain't that the way the rent goes
  Seems like it's never goin' down
  And that banker's bound to foreclose
  At this rate, I'll lose my interest in this town
  Paint the walls mend the windows
  'Bout the time the roof comes crumblin' to the ground
  I've been footin' the bill for some time
  Stretchin' my credit out of line
  Well I may not get ahead but now I won't be far behind
  I've got one more payment and it's mine
  We're gonna swing it
  Ain't that the way the heart goes
  Seems they just attack without a sign
  My mind's been on vacation
  And my body's been workin' overtime
  But I've done all that I can do
  There's just one more balance due before it's mine
  I've been footin' the bill for some time
  Step by step and line by dotted line
  Well I haven't bought the farm yet
  But I'm not that far behind
  I've got one more payment and it's mine
  One more payment and it's mine
  One more payment and it's mine
  One more
  One more
  One more
