I used to live the luxury life 

A new house, three cars to drive 

Steppin' over the credit line 

I was payin' a heavy price 

It seemed more was never enough

So I called my creditor up

Said "All I need is that cadillac car,

I'm heading for a brand new start"





I was in way to deep

Straightened out my priorities

I'm a man of simple needs

Just rent, groceries, and gasoline





I got a trailer sturdy and cheap

Hot time, job work when I please

Goin' to Mexico next week

Gotta feel that ocean breeze

I might settle down sometime

Right now, it ain't on my mind

Got a pretty girl along for the ride

She's the adventurous kind





I got everything I need 

Straightend out my priorities 

I'm a man of simple means 

Just rent, groceries, and gasoline 



Got a full tank and some food to go 

Check the map and we'll hit the road 

In the flicker of the dashboard lights 

I feel my life unwind 



I got everything I need 

Straightend out my priorities 

I'm a man of simple means 

Just rent, groceries, and gasoline 

Rent, groceries, and gasoline 

I need rent, groceries, and gasoline 



Just give me rent, groceries, and gasoline 

And I'm outta here!
