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 some day
been too busy drinkin´ to be carin´ either way

the wife she ain´t been workin´ ´cause her time is growing near
but the irs ain´t takin´ no sabbaticals this year
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 man can´t comprehend that dense morality

so i bought my wife some roses and i 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

chorus
