A mid tempo ballad that focuses on the economic issues the average person is experiencing today. We've got jobs but we can barely afford to buy gas and we have so much debt it seems kike we can't get ahead.

Lyrics
Haven’t got a pot to you know what in And I’m drowning in a sea of debt Can’t afford the shoebox that I live in Cause I owe more money than I get I’m workin’ days and nights and weekends Just tryin to get my ends to meet Gotta find a way to end this downward spiral Before I end up on the street Working hard but I’m getting nowhere Isn’t easy trying to make it out there Got a car but I can’t afford the gas I’ve been hoping that I win the lotto Gonna play it when I get some extra cash I’m working hard but I’m getting nowhere fast Never feel secure about the future Because I’m living check to check How long I can hold out, I’m not sure I’m all ready in up to my neck I fear someday it will engulf me Like a giant tidal wave Gotta find a way to end this downward spiral Before they lay me in my grave I’m working hard but I’m getting nowhere It isn’t easy trying to make it out there I got a car but I can’t afford the gas My only hope is that I win the lotto I’m Gonna play when I get some extra cash I’m working hard but I’m getting nowhere fast Working hard but I’m getting nowhere Isn’t easy trying to make it out there Got a car but I can’t afford the gas I’ve been hoping that I win the lotto Gonna play when I get some extra cash I’m working hard but I’m getting nowhere fast Working hard but I’m getting nowhere…….

Hey I'm very much in this position, so this song really speaks to me! I have a big car to carry my big 600w bass stack, but petrol - "gas" here is £5 = $10 a gallon! I look likely to lose my home soon :( Your songs really rock and I think the only reason they are considered 'too country for rock' is that the lyrics are TOO GOOD! Best wishes from Heather x
