Lyrics
When I turned 18, I had pretty good credit. If I wanted anything, I pay cash to get it.
I didn?t know my life was about to change. I went by the post office to check my mail.
When I opened the box, one letter fall. I should have left it lying there on the floor.
But what could I do? Big bold letters staring at me, PREAPPROVED.
I sent off the next day like good fortune had come my way.
I was moving up and I felt like a real big man.
I didn?t know credit cards are just for show.
It?s the fastest way to see your money go.
Chorus:
Preapproved to go in debt.
Preapproved is one sure bet
It?s the quickest way to lose your ass-sets
Preapproved to be a fool. Like dropping out of school..
Dave Ramsey can you tell me what to do?
Help ME DAVE
Lead
As I chased fame and fortune I was about to discover
One credit card leads to ten others
I became the master of charge.
A real American Express
Dave Ramsey can you help me fix this mess?
Cause my visa has expired and collectors call every hour
The power company just turned off my lights
Now, I?m dodging the sheriff, I don?t answer the door
Like a house with no candy on Halloween night
Chorus:
Preapproved to go in debt.
Preapproved is one sure bet
It?s the quickest way to lose your ass-sets
Preapproved to be a fool. Like dropping out of school..
Dave Ramsey can you tell me what to do?
Preapproved to lose your house
Preapproved to lose your spouse
Dave Ramsey please come to my recuse
