Songs: Pay day

Genre: Country

Another pay day came and went today.

I guess I should be happy, so they say.

But I'll be lucky if I'm left a twenty

Cause all my bills take all my money.

If I were just a kid, I'd run away.

It makes me feel so doggone sad and blue

When all I want is everything for you.

With mortgage payments, food, and gas,

Lectric, water, sewer, I ask

What can ordinary people do?

Dear USA, I'd like a bailout, if you please.

I don't want to be greedy

Or to bring us to our knees.

But since you bailed out Wall Street

And the auto industry,

Could you maybe find a way to save the likes of me?

Can you tell me what has happened to the dream?

Don't recall this meltdown in the scheme.

Now everything is upside down,

Will it ever turn around?

So downhearted, I just want to scream.

Dear USA, I'd like a bailout, if you please.

I don't want to be greedy

Or to bring us to our knees.

But since you bailed out Wall Street

And the auto industry,

Could you maybe find a way to save the likes of me?
