I just want to pay my bills
I get so tired of worrying all the time
About where my next meal will come from
I feel like packing up, taking off, and just running

I wish one time, when my phone rings
The bill collector would not sing
That same old melody of how they will take everything

I want to go to my mail box just once
And not come back feeling like I weigh a bunch
Because of all the notices in there

Sometimes I really get scared
How they don't even care
When my check gets lost
And I can't pay their cost

Then they tack on another fee
To let me know I am really not free
And this is how things seem to always be

So I just sit back and think
I just want to pay my bills
