Quote: A man is rich in proportion to the things 

he can afford to let alone (Henry David Thoreau) 

SONG LYRICS: 

Hypocrisy as it oughta be, that's called good business 

Sometimes it really bothers me how I got in this 

Took this job a-thinkin' I'd be movin' up someday 

Been too busy drinkin' to be carin' either way 

The wife she ain't been workin' 'cause her time is growin' near 

But the IRS ain't takin' no sabbaticals this year 

Been working on commission against weekly guarantees 

This soldier's on a mission but it ain't for charity 

CHORUS: 

Give me just one moment with the wheel between my hands 

Just one moment, I'll make you understand 

Don't confuse all the games you lose with failing as a man 

Just one moment, I'll show you who I am 

Went in to see the boss man to ask him for a raise 

Never did quite understand all the reasons that he gave 

His 8" x 10" of Jesus had turned it's back to me 

I guess mortal men can't comprehend that dense morality 

So I bought my wife some roses, and tied them with a bow 

Called the boss up at 3 AM and I told him where to go 

Now we're driving down the highway back to where we first began 

With me back in the driver's seat and her holding my hand 

Repeat Chorus 

END
