Red Shahan - Waterbill

{Verse 1}
Rattlesnake morning
And the ceiling fan's a-buzzing
Fly up on my face
I'm too sick to move a muscle
And the shower's in the next room
Feels like a mile away
Oh God, today's the thirty-first
I gotta get the water bill paid

{Verse 2}
I bought a '67 Lincoln
Suicide doors
Got that Posi truck transmission
Four on the floor
I'm gonna hook up to the one-horse
Enter in the UPRA
I ain't-a roper by no means
But I gotta get the water bill paid

{Chorus}
And I'm on high hopes
You ain't livin' 'less you're livin' life broke
Workin' on high hopes
Too late, too long
Just party through the pain and carry on

{Verse 3}
I broke an axle in Bandera
Nearly lost the trailer
I mechanic on the side
But rarely turns out right
I'd call some help if I could see straight
Looks like I'm sleeping here tonight
But this is mountain lion country
And I hear they love a redhead delight

{Chorus}
And I'm on high hopes
You ain't livin' 'less you're livin' life broke
Workin' on high hopes
Too late, too long
Just party through the pain and carry on

{Instrumental}

{Chorus}
And I'm on high hopes
You ain't livin' 'less you're livin' life broke
Workin' on high hopes
Too late, too long
Just party through the pain and carry on
