lyrics
PAYCHECK AWAY – I saw him passin’ by my place. A smile was passin’ on his face. He looked up and said it’s time for me to retire. A bundle of wealth I did acquire. So it’s with joy I do say. He’s just a paycheck away from a brand new day. She passed me by in a minute or so. She couldn’t stop to talk, she had somewhere to go. I found out later she was headin’ for the bank. She lost her job and her savings was in the tank. So it’s with a sigh I do say. She was a paycheck away from her savings decay. I saw them pass as they headed for soup. Their clothes were ragged and their heads were all drooped. They lost everything in the last latest crash. Now they’ve settled into the rich man’s trash. So it’s with sorrow I do say. They were just a paycheck away from this dismal display.
