Sittin' In Hock

When I saw him that night he was drunk as a fool

And he sat down beside me on an old barstool

And said, man I've got some bad news for you to hear

He said, times have been tough I ain't had much luck

I've had quite a thirst but ain't got a buck

So I pawned some of my things to buy a case of beer

I said, that ain't so bad cause I've been there too

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do

He said, hold on cause man I ain't done

I pawned all of my records and don't you know

Now all I listen to is the radio and I'm sorry to say

But your record, it was one

Now I'm sitting in hock don't you know

Beside Billy Ray Cyrus and some old George Jones

And a million old things that folks just threw away

Beside the microwave ovens, cassette stereos

And a wedding band from love grown cold

Hell, I knew it would happen one of these days

I'm praying one of these days some kid'll scoop it up

And save my face from gathering dust

And set me up so proud on his record shelf

When I can spare the dough you know I'm going downtown

And you know I'm gonna be pawn shop bound

And I'll just buy back my record myself
