Quote: A man is rich in proportion to the things
he can afford to let alone (Henry David Thoreau)

SONG LYRICS:

Hypocrisy as it oughta be, that`s called good business
Sometimes it really bothers me how I got in this
Took this job a-thinkin` I`d be movin` up someday
Been too busy drinkin` to be carin` either way
The wife she ain`t been workin` `cause her time is growin` near
But the IRS ain`t takin` no sabbaticals this year
Been working on commission against weekly guarantees
This soldier`s on a mission but it ain`t for charity

CHORUS:
Give me just one moment with the wheel between my hands
Just one moment, I`ll make you understand
Don`t confuse all the games you lose with failing as a man
Just one moment, I`ll show you who I am

Went in to see the boss man to ask him for a raise
Never did quite understand all the reasons that he gave
His 8` x 10` of Jesus had turned it`s back to me
I guess mortal men can`t comprehend that dense morality
So I bought my wife some roses, and tied them with a bow
Called the boss up at 3 AM and I told him where to go
Now we`re driving down the highway back to where we first began
With me back in the driver`s seat and her holding my hand

Repeat Chorus

END
