 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I used to live the luxury life 
A new house, three cars to drive 
Steppin' over the credit line 
I was payin' a heavy price 
It seemed more was never enough
So I called my creditor up

Said "All I need is that Cadillac car,
I'm heading for a brand new start"
I was in way to deep
Straightened out my priorities
I'm a man of simple needs

Just rent, groceries, and gasoline
I got a trailer sturdy and cheap
Hot time, job work when I please
Goin' to Mexico next week

Gotta feel that ocean breeze
I might settle down sometime
Right now, it ain't on my mind
Got a pretty girl along for the ride

She's the adventurous kind
I got everything I need 
Straightened out my priorities 
I'm a man of simple means 

Just rent, groceries, and gasoline 
Got a full tank and some food to go 
Check the map and we'll hit the road 
In the flicker of the dashboard lights 

I feel my life unwind 
I got everything I need 
Straightened out my priorities 
I'm a man of simple means 
Just rent, groceries, and gasoline 
Rent, groceries, and gasoline 
I need rent, groceries, and gasoline 
Just give me rent, groceries, and gasoline 
And I'm outta here!
