HOT WATER

Afternoon sun straightens out my head,
Just enough to get me to roll out of bed,
Takes a gallon of coffee to shake off the cob webs.
Too late to check the classifieds today,
Don't really want to get a job anyway,
Gonna do what I do, even if it don't pay.
(chorus)
I'm in Hot Water again,
I wish that I could swim.
And not just float with the tide,
Or merely try to survive,
I'm back in hot water again.
Nobody answers their phone any more,
I guess they all know what I been calling for,
I'm getting used to being poor.
I think I'll write another song on my old guitar,
Play it for my friends at the corner bar
I have to walk there cause I can't afford a car.
(chorus)
I'm back in Hot Water again,
I wish that I could swim.
And not just float with the tide,
Or merely try to survive,
I'm back in hot water again.
(bridge)
I used to have a girl, but she left me flat.
Now wherever I am, I guess that's where I'm at.
...And where I'm at is in...
(chorus)
Hot Water again,
And I never learned how to swim.
Now I just float with the tide,
Or merely try to survive,
I'm back in hot water again.
I'm back in hot water again.
