One More Payment

[Verse 1] Ain't that the way the luck goes Seems like it never can be found Break my back to make those bank notes Payin' on an almost always broken down Fix that car nine ways to Sunday And it won't start again when Monday rolls around [Verse 2] Ain't that the way the rent goes Seems like it's never goin' down And that banker's bound to foreclose At this rate, I'll lose my interest in this town Paint the walls, mend the windows 'Bout the time the roof comes crumblin' to the ground [Chorus] I've been footin' the bill for some time Stretchin' my credit out of line Well I may not get ahead but now I won't be far behind I've got one more payment and it's mine We're gonna swing it [Verse 3] Ain't that the way the heart goes Seems they just attack without a sign My mind's been on vacation And my body's been workin' overtime But I've done all that I can do There's just one more balance due before it's mine [Chorus] I've been footin' the bill for some time Step by step and line by dotted line Well I haven't bought the farm yet but I'm not that far behind I've got one more payment and it's mine [Tag] One more payment and it's mine One more payment and it's mine One more, one more, one more Lord
