[Verse]
D He slept right by the yogurt
hut on a painted curb G Wearing nothing but some cut-offs
A A7
and a muscle shirt D And at five AM,
the donut girls came quietly to work G When they slid the trays
and banged the bowls,
A A7
you woke up with a jerk [Verse]
D Thirty-two ounce soda to
start the day off right G Every now and then remembering
A A7
little things about last night D Hold on, take five,
check out the fox in the Corvette G Then you said,
A A7
"You know it don't get no better than that" [Instrumental]

D He spent all the money
on an ornate waterbed G It had a carving of a
A A7
tiger right above his head D And he's embarassed of the
fact that he works at Pizza Shack G He says he made 90K a year
A A7
before he hurt his back [Verse 4]
D And the money his sister owes him,
his cousin has,
but he's in jail G There's all these checks that should
A
be arriving any day
A7
now in the mail D But mysteriously,
the checks won't show
and the sticky boombox by the door G Will end up getting sold once more
A A7
for a lot less than before [Outro]
