Paycheck to Paycheck

On Monday mornin' I'm a-hemmin' and a-hawin' tryin' to get myself in gear I'm on a hard-hat crew 'cause the bills are due and I'm in up to my ears But come Friday night I'll be feelin' right when I'm cashin' my check downtown Where the liquor's sold and the beers are cold and the jukebox turned up loud I'm livin' paycheck to paycheck One quarter at a time I just dropped one in a jukebox I can't hold myself in line Tell the IRS to shove it And give me eleven twenty-nine I'm livin' paychеck to paycheck And I don't waste a dime I been churnin' and a-burnin' and a-workin' on thе weekends for goin' on fifteen years I tried to save my pay for a Chevrolet but then I spent it on fifteen beers Now I got a bank loan on a two tone Pontiac GTO Well Paycheck in the tape deck and blarin' on the radio I'm livin' paycheck to paycheck One quarter at a time I just dropped one in a jukebox I can't hold myself in line Tell the IRS to shove it And give me eleven twenty-nine I'm livin' paycheck to paycheck And I don't waste a dime I've got an empty bottle and a broken heart and you're still on my mind I'm livin' paycheck to paycheck And I don't waste a dime I'm livin' paycheck to paycheck One quarter at a time And I don't waste a dime
