Story Behind The Song

A few years ago, my friend made a comment that her credit card statement was like the national debt. I thought that was funny, so I wrote a song about it.

Song Description

This song tells the story of someone that, like many of us, has gotten over their head in credit card debt.

Lyrics

Credit Card Blues

All my friends said I should get me one.
Told me I would have a world of fun.
So I filled the forms out and I sent them in.
Now I can't believe the world of trouble I'm in.

chorus:
Credit card blues, I got the credit card blues.
Credit card blues, yeah, the credit card blues.
Let me tell you, brother, I'm in some kind of stew.
Got a serious case of the credit card blues.

I get warnings on the telephone,
Warnings in the mail.
They say if I don't pay my bills, they'll put me in jail.
Amy Grant has had her credit card since 1982.
She'd do me a favor if she'd take mine, too.
(chorus)
Bridge:
Interest rates, bonus points, subprime mortgage,
Student loans, lenders' fees, workplace shortage.
IRA, IRS, structured payments.
Overdue, overdrawn, I can't take this. (repeat)
(chorus X2)
