The last song I wrote, I thought that was the one
that was gonna get us out of here.
So I sang my heart out and I put it online.
It’s got 64 views, I got some email news
for the precious few
who choose to pay me some mind.
“I think I did it! I think I did it…
last time.”
-CHORUS
How do you know you’re broke?
How do you know you’re fine?
How do you know your joke is funny
when everybody’s crying?
In the junkyard, I found a car
the one I thought would get us out of here.
I gave them all our money now it’s out on the lawn.
It’s a 64 Chevy, the backseats empty,
there’s cactus on the engine. In the trunk, there’s a daisy.
We’ve been fogging up the windows, people say were too far gone..
–
Well, the Lord has mercy, we got a puppy named Percy
He’s the one! He’s going to get us out of here.
He knows 64 tricks. His favorite toys are sticks
and you know, I bet he’d bite a burglar’s behind.
He’s got no idea we haven’t got a dime.
