There just ain't nothing giving
I just can't catch a break
My life's in prohibition
My baby's on the make-through road
The world is tough
Lord, I need some more money
Gotta keep my feet on the ground

My car's a rusty vessel
My shoulders feel like lead
Too scared to call the doctor
The world is tough
Lord, I need some more money
Gonna keep my feet on the ground

Got scores through all my credit cards
Red letters on my checks
Alimony seven's pay
God knows what's next
The world is tough
But it don't do to be moping around
Lord, I need some more money
Gonna keep my feet on the ground

All right, so
So I've lost my ambition
Living in the past
Living in a matchbox
I'm desperate to scratch
Tired of livin' solo, lonely as a clown
When I look in the wishin' well
Only see the long way down
The world is dull
But it don't do to be moping around
It's gonna keep my feet on the ground
The world is tough
The world is tough, yeah
The world is tough
The world is tough

Lord, I need some more money
Gonna keep my feet on the ground
Bye
