My Take Home Pay Won't Take Me Home

Well, it's quittin' time Friday at the factory
I've worked five long days for this chance to be free
Lookin' at my check I wonder how I'll make it last
Then I climb into my truck and see it's out of gas

Chorus:
My Take Home Pay Won't Take Me Home
Before the work week is over, my money is good as gone
I got a steady full time job but I still need a loan
'Cause My Take Home Pay Won't Take Me Home

Now everybody knows bill payin' ain't no fun
And this stack of bills gets higher every month
Every day I pray that everything will turn out fine
'Cause I just can't afford to get any further behind

Chorus:
My Take Home Pay Won't Take Me Home
Before the work week is over, my money is good as gone
I got a steady full time job but I still need a loan
'Cause My Take Home Pay Won't Take Me Home

Bridge:
I thank God I've got my woman's tender touch
She helps me through our hard times
When I worry way too much

Chorus:
My Take Home Pay Won't Take Me Home
Before the work week is over, my money is good as gone
I got a steady full time job but I still need a loan
'Cause My Take Home Pay Won't Take Me Home
