Peel me off a fiver
that stack looks pretty thick
money takes some time to make
we spend it all too quick
and i'll try to remember
that this is just a lender

chorus
till i'm on my feet back
in the car
i won't forget who my friends are
you were always there
when i needed you
i can be there, too

loan me fifteen dollars
my wallet's gettin' thin
my rent is due
and i know that you have recently come in
to a large amount of money
hey man, can you make that 20?

chorus

hey haven't you heard,
didn't you know?
i cleaned up six weeks ago
i'm on the straight and narrow track
and i can't pay you back..

chorus

oh, hey how ya doin'?
no, i did not forget
i promised i would pay you back
but i ain't got it yet
and you don't have to sweat it,
i'll call you when i get it

when i'm on my feet back
in the car i won't forget who my friends are
i'm on the straight and narrow track
i'll remember to pay you back
you were always there when i needed you
i can be there, too
