Down Payment Blues - AC/DC

Album: Powerage

genre: Blues Hard Rock Rock

I know that it’s evil
I know that it’s got to be
I know I ain’t doing much
Doing nothing means a lot to me
Living on a shoestring
A fifty cent millionaire
Open to charity
Rock ‘n’ roll on welfare

Sitting in my Cadillac
Listening to my radio
Suzy baby get on in
Tell me where she want to go
I’m living in a nightmare
She’s looking like a wet dream
I got myself a Cadillac
But I can’t afford the gasoline

I got holes in my shoes
And I’m way overdue
Down payment blues

Get myself a steady job
Some responsibility
Can’t even feed my cat
On social security
Hiding from the rent man
Oh it make me want to cry
Sheriff knocking on my door
Ain’t it funny how the time flies?

Sitting on my sailing boat
Sipping on my champagne
Suzy baby all at sea
Say she want to come again
Feeling like a paper cup
Floating down a storm drain
Got myself a sailing boat
But I can’t afford a drop of rain

I got holes in my shoes
And I’m way overdue
Down payment blues

Down payment blues
Down payment blues
Down payment blues
I got holes in my shoes
And I’m way overdue
I got the
Down payment blues
