Ain't that the way the luck goes    Seems like it never can be found    Break my back to make those bank notes    Payin' on an almost always broken down    Fix that car nine ways to Sunday    And it won't start again when Monday rolls around    Ain't that the way the rent goes    Seems like it's never goin' down    And that banker's bound to foreclose    At this rate, I'll lose my interest in this town    Paint the walls mend the windows    'Bout the time the roof comes crumblin' to the ground    I've been footin' the bill for some time    Stretchin' my credit out of line    Well I may not get ahead but now I won't be far behind       I've got one more payment and it's mine    We're gonna swing it Ain't that the way the heart goes    Seems they just attack without a sign    My mind's been on vacation And my body's been workin' overtime    But I've done all that I can do    There's just one more balance due before it's mine       I've been footin' the bill for some time    Step by step and line by dotted line    Well I haven't bought the farm yet    But I'm not that far behind       I've got one more payment and it's mine    One more payment and it's mine    One more payment and it's mine    One more    One more    One more
