Intro Verse I work all day to pay the rent Before the money's earned, well it's all been allocated I got nothin' on my plate, but I wish that I were fat Nine more gallons and I'll have me a hat Workin' nights, I'm always tired I hope my boss doesn't get me laid off It's hard to pull an empty load even if you're stuck Seventeen more wheels and I'll have me a truck Chorus Two more times a lady, three more hundred blows Four more easy pieces, five more days on the road Seven more days a week now, eight more lives a cat Nine more gallons and I'll have me a hat Verse Workin' weekends to pay the bills I wish I lived someplace like Beverly Sills I'd love to have her autograph right here on these checks Fifty-one more cards and I'll be playin' with a full deck
