I used to live the luxury life   A new house, three cars to drive   Steppin' over the credit line   I was payin' a heavy price   It seemed more was never enough   So I called my creditor up   Said "all I need is that cadillac car,   I'm heading for a brand new start"         I was in way to deep   Straightened out my priorities   I'm a man of simple needs   Just rent, groceries, and gasoline         I got a trailer sturdy and cheap   Hot time, job work when I please   Goin' to mexico next week   Gotta feel that ocean breeze   I might settle down sometime   Right now, it ain't on my mind   Got a pretty girl along for the ride   She's the adventurous kind         I got everything I need   Straightend out my priorities   I'm a man of simple means   Just rent, groceries, and gasoline      Got a full tank and some food to go   Check the map and we'll hit the road   In the flicker of the dashboard lights   I feel my life unwind      I got everything I need   Straightend out my priorities   I'm a man of simple means   Just rent, groceries, and gasoline   Rent, groceries, and gasoline   I need rent, groceries, and gasoline      Just give me rent, groceries, and gasoline   And I'm outta here!
