Buy a bottle, get to feeling good
The world's looking like you think it should
A happy hour, honey, everyone's your friend
Closing time, shut her down again

Up in the morning and you're facing town
Walk the same streets up and down
A fire burning in your worn out shoes
Every day you've got something to prove

A curb feelers and fender skirts
Scrub the chrome till your elbow hurts
A pinstripes and cherry packs
Grass stains on your second hand slacks

Keep on betting, think you're going to win
And you can dress it up and try to pretend
A car's a car and that's a fact
(But) A deuce and a quarter ain't no (a) Cadillac

Uncle Johnny has a country act
His headache is a heart attack
Honey bring me down a couple more pills
Call the lawyer up and change my will

A ham sandwich and a glass of tea
Lunch is cheap but never free
Shaking hands and scratching backs
Grease stains on your second hand slacks

Got a date, got to dress with care
Wash the grey right out of my hair
Clean the car and when I'm through
Wax it up till it looks brand new
