Verse I
Well I woke up this morning to a knock on my door
The notice nailed to it said I can?t live here no more
I looked up to see a man stealing my car
It was the repo-man said I can?t drive it no more
Been working all night driving in the rain
It looks like another gig down the drain

Chorus
I?m going down
Down the drain
Oh I?m going down
Ya down the drain
Well that Grim Reaper came I think he?s looking for me
Another day down the drain you?ll see

Verse II
I?ve been driving that Car for the last two years
It?s back to the Stand I?ll be picking up Fares
Been trying to get ahead, start again on my own
Been paying the freight they just won?t leave me alone
Nothing in my pocket but some very loose change
Like flushing the pot it?s a day down the drain

Chorus
I?m going down
Down the drain
Oh I?m going down
Ya down the drain
Well that Grim Reaper came I think he?s looking for me
Another day down the drain you?ll see

Verse III
Well now some say I will and some say I won?t
The bets are down honey it ain?t no joke
The Vegas odds tell the tale
I?m a betting man baby going straight to hell
When the game gets hot, I?m on fire
I?m burning down like that Chicago fire

Chorus
I?m go?in down
Oh I?m go?in down
Ya go?in down
Mmmmm Baby Down the drain
Well that Grim Reaper came I think he?s looking for me
Another day down the drain you?ll see

Verse IV
Like rain water running down the Storm Drain
Out to Sea it?s going to start again
Well that cycle goes and it comes around
Like that Grey Bath Water when you push the plug down
There?s nothing left but the sludge that you see
Going down the drain just like me

Chorus
I?m go?in down
Down the drain
OH Babe I?m go?in down
Oh down the drain
Well that Grim Reaper came I think he?s looking for me
Another day down the drain you?ll see
