Addicted to a Dollar Songtext
von Doug Stone

Eighty hours a week, that′s what I call work
And this black on a my blue collar is this pay dirt
They work me hard from dawn 'til dusk
Doing double time, putting down sweat for a few big bucks
FICA and the state
They make my paycheck look like a big mistake
The tax man takes his before I see a cent
And what they don′t get, well, I've already spent


I'm addicted to a dollar and that ain′t worth a dime
I pick up my paycheck, pass it on down the line
The more money that I′m makin', well, the less I can call mine
But I′m addicted to a dollar that ain't worth a thing

I′ve got me more payments than I've got checks
With ten more to go, this car, hey man, it′s a wreck
Landlords at my door and it's a life of hard knocks
When all I really want is my piece of this rock

I'm addicted to a dollar and that ain′t worth a dime
I pick up my paycheck, pass it on down the line
The more money that I′m makin', well, the less I can call mine
But I′m addicted to a dollar that ain't worth a thing


I′m addicted to a dollar and that ain't worth a dime
I pick up my paycheck, pass it on down the line
The more money that I′m makin', well, the less I can call mine
But I'm addicted to a dollar that ain′t worth a thing
