Rent, Groceries, & Gasoline Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I used to live the luxury life 

A new house, three cars to drive 

Steppin' over the credit line 

I was payin' a heavy price 

It seemed more was never enough 

So I called my creditor up 

Said "All I need is that Cadillac car, 

I'm heading for a brand new start" 

I was in way to deep 

Straightened out my priorities 

I'm a man of simple needs

Just rent, groceries, and gasoline 

I got a trailer sturdy and cheap 

Hot time, job work when I please 

Goin' to Mexico next week 

Gotta feel that ocean breeze 

I might settle down sometime 

Right now, it ain't on my mind 

Got a pretty girl along for the ride 

She's the adventurous kind 

I got everything I need 

Straightened out my priorities 

I'm a man of simple means 

Just rent, groceries, and gasoline 

Got a full tank and some food to go 

Check the map and we'll hit the road 

In the flicker of the dashboard lights 

Photos 

I feel my life unwind 

I got everything I need 

Straightened out my priorities 

I'm a man of simple means 

Just rent, groceries, and gasoline 

Rent, groceries, and gasoline 

I need rent, groceries, and gasoline 

Just give me rent, groceries, and gasoline 

And I'm outta here!
