Kick out the cat / turn back the clock   Ain't life sweet baby look what I got   They took the TV honey   Oh babe now they took the car   I skipped the bills yeah    And I've been drinking at the bar      Ain't life a treat, it ain't so sweet   When you're down on down / down on down      The bank's foreclosing   And there's a foot inside my door   The telephone's not ringing   And I can't take it anymore      I'm off the track / my last six pack   And I'm down on down / going down   Ain't life a treat it ain't so sweet   When you're going down / down on down      Hit me Shorty      [INSTRUMENTAL]      My God the kids are screaming   And the help she ain't been paid   My baby upped and left me   Well I hope she's getting laid      Ain't life a treat it ain't so sweet   When you're down on down / going down   I'm just bad luck looks like I got stuck   Down on down / down on down      I took it to the limit, now I'm really in it   Going down / right on down   Just like the I.R.S. oh, more is less   Going down / down on down
