If It Ain't One Thing It's Another

Lyrics VC L Veasey
Chorus 1
Well I said if it ain't one thing it's another
Seems like I can't make no further
Oh Oh I'm hung up in a rut
Verse 1
Said my gas bill's due and my light bill too
My wife just left me now she trying to sue
Oh Oh now what am I gonna do?
Verse 2
I thought about calling on my old friend Bob
But he says he's just lost his job
He's been trying to borrow money too.
Chorus 2
Well I said if it ain't one thing it's another
Seems like I can't make no further
Oh Oh I'm hung up in a rut
Verse 3
Well I called on my friend the business man
He had money in both of his hands
But I couldn't get any cause my credit was past due
Verse 4
I'm so tired of ducking and dodging
Slipping and sliding and peeping and hiding
From bill collectors who've been trying serve me a summons
Chorus 3
Well I said if it ain't one thing it's another
Seems like I can't make no further
Oh Oh I'm hung up in a rut
