Song Description
Paying taxes is always difficult for the small business person. When someone starts their own business it doesn't take long for them to realize there is a lot of red tape involved and lots of hidden costs that you never figure on in the beginning.

Lyrics
CHORUS
I'm Goin' Broke..but I'm havin' fun
Sittin here chewin' the fat like a son of a gun
Ain't got a nickel - to my name
And I'm still lookin' for someone else to blame.
VERSE
I used to be a salesman
A short order cook
A night time security guard
But I never caught one crook
Painted houses and drove a truck
Cleaned out sewer drains
Drove all the way to Hollywood
But they never even called my name
VERSE
I don't know what I was thinkin
When I spent my last dime
And started my own business
For a while everything was just fine
Then the tax man came a callin
Said I was seriously behind
And after I paid what they said I owed
I had just about lost my mind
