AC/DC Powerage – Down Payment Blues

Lyrics:

I know that it’s evil

I know that it’s got to be

I know I ain’t doing much

Doing nothing means a lot to me

Living on a shoe string

A fifty cent millionaire

Open to charity

Rock ‘n’ roller welfare

Sitting in my Cadillac

Listening to my radio

Suzy baby get on in

Tell me where she want to go

I’m living in a nightmare

She’s looking like a wet dream

I got myself a Cadillac

But I can’t afford the gasoline

CHORUS:

I’ve got holes in my shoes

And I’m way overdue

Down payment blues

Get myself a steady job

Some responsibility

Can’t even feed my cat

On social security

Hiding from the rent man

Oh it makes me want to cry

Sheriff knocking on my door

Ain’t it funny how the time flies

Sitting on my sailing boat

Sipping off my champaign

Suzy baby all at sea [Suzy baby you’re obscene]

Say she want to come again

Feeling like a paper cup

[Floating | Blowing] down a storm drain

Got myself a sailing boat

But I can’t afford the gasoline […afford a drop of rain]

But I can’t afford to gather way [gather way – navigation – To attain headway. ]

CHORUS
