If I was a betting man I wouldn't bet on me I've been knocked down before I got back on my feet Guess I know just what you mean When you can't get out of bed All behind the 8-ball honey You're never gonna get ahead And I first met my Lulu Not at a bar, at the DMV She said you don't get it sir This motorcycle it's a part of me I was driving a taxi then She said what is your going rate? When you fall too much in love And then it's much too late Come on put my back against the wall Come on Sam, take it all It's a big old world and I'm too small to see You put us in Debtors' Prison, I'm still gonna be free Lulu was a pretty good painter She did every wall on the block Things were going all right then 'Til somebody called the cops They got her down at the temple precinct she said You gotta get me out of here Sold my taxi to a friend of mine and Bought a six pack of beer Me and Lulu we had a couple of kids Two at the very same time Nearly laughed at the hospital bill A hundred thousand dollars on the dotted line The credit company said you've reached your limit sir And I said you're telling me Living on tacos and formula bottles in a Tent in Ventura county Come on put my back against the wall Come on Sam, take it all It's a big old world and I'm down on my knees Put us in Debtors' Prison, I'm still gonna be free Oh, so far away, so far away from what I wanted Oh, they took it all away but I'm never taking you for Granted If I was a betting man I wouldn't bet on me Got me stuck in the overdraft Mean old man Morgan, J.P I guess I know just what you mean When you can't get out of bed We're all behind the 8-ball honey, Never gonna get ahead Come on put my back against the wall Come on Sam, take it all Come on put my back against the wall Come on Sam take it all Well I guess I never knew what I wanted to be.
