Lyrics

He hangs up the phone disgusted as another bill collector calls the gentleman says he only owes a little but to him the debts not small his boss cut back his hours now so he don't get much pay and don't you know its gettin really tough livin day by day
chorus
wellhe sits down and wonders why she wouldn't stay my guess is she got tired of all the livin day to bay its funny all of the questions that pour in from all sides when your livin day to day and tryin to survive

well he looks down the hall way the kids have built a fort its funny how a blanket and two chairs shelter them from the world well they don't know how close they are to losin every thing cause they just know that daddy will protect them from just about anything

chorus


well he wants to drive off to Florida spend some time off in the keys fish around the gulf and do what ever he please but he knows with no money he can't even buy a beer and eh wonders how in 35 years he ever wound up here.

chorus
