Lyrics

Credit Card Blues

I make direct deposits in my walk ? in closet
I hardly ever quit when I should
I got the Midas touch, the one that means so much
From Beverly Hills to Hollywood

Still I get depressed, even though I look my best
I?m inclined to have a worried mind

I got the credit card blues
Gotta kick the habit of buying dresses, hats and shoes
I got the credit card blues
One more night ?til the minimum payment is due
So many things I still could use
I got the credit card blues

I got my daily planner on a bar code scanner
I?m an over-limit spending machine
When I pay that fine they?re gonna up my line
Mastercard says they?re gonna help me come clean

Still I get depressed, even though I?m doing my best
I?m inclined to have a worried mind

I got the credit card blues
Gotta kick the habit of buying dresses, hats and shoes
I got the credit card blues
One more night ?til the minimum payment is due
So many things I still could use
I got the credit card blues

My friends all say the Devil?s got a brand new name
He?ll burn me till I go broke
I?m gonna torch these cards
Before my life goes up in smoke!

Repeat Chorus
