Kick out the cat / turn back the clock
Aint life sweet baby look what I got
They took the tv honey
Oh babe now they took the car
I skipped the bills yeah
And Ive been drinking at the bar

Aint life a treat, it aint so sweet
When youre down on down / down on down

The banks foreclosing
And theres a foot inside my door
The telephones not ringing
And I cant take it anymore

Im off the track / my last six pack
And Im down on down / going down
Aint life a treat it aint so sweet
When youre going down / down on down

Hit me shorty

[instrumental]

My God the kids are screaming
And the help she aint been paid
My baby upped and left me
Well I hope shes getting laid

Aint life a treat it aint so sweet
When youre down on down / going down
Im just bad luck looks like I got stuck
Down on down / down on down

I took it to the limit, now Im really in it
Going down / right on down
Just like the i.r.s. oh, more is less
Going down / down on down
