Lyrics

Original by Deborah E guitarist Denny Martin

Songwriters: Denny Martin, Jaimee Paul

I slave six days a week, downtown at the Five and Dime
Clock in at seven, home at eight, workin' too much overtime
Boss is always yellin', he ain't ever satisfied
Wanna tell him to stick this job where the sun don't shine

But it's ONLY TEMPORARY
There ain't no need to worry
This heavy load I carry is ONLY TEMPORARY

Boyfriend phoned said sugar, let's paint the town red at eight
We dined out at Hot Dog Heaven, he was broke, I had to pay
Yesterday he's layin', on my couch watchin' Dr. Phil
When I caught him callin' his "ex", he said baby take a pill

But he's ONLY TEMPORARY
Here's your hat, what's your hurry
He's a burden I'm gonna bury, but he's ONLY TEMPORARY

Car broke down on the freeway and the payment's over due
Came up a little short last month, landlord says I gotta move
My dog bit the neighbor, he's a lawyer, said he'll sue
Gettin' kinda funny, soon, won't be nothin' left to lose

But it's ONLY TEMPORARY
There ain't no need to worry
Sometimes life can get a little bit scary, but it's
ONLY TEMPORARY
