Keepin' Up With the Joneses Lyrics

-- Paul Barrere and Lowell George 

Keepin' up with the Joneses is killing me 
Go on and hang that man who says the best things in life are for free 
Keepin' up with the Joneses is killing me 
She's just one more bad habit I was too blind to see 

The lady and I was happy at first 
Just livin' from day to day 
Off the wall came the call said we're destined to fall 
If I don't bring home more pay 

Keepin' up with the Joneses is killing me 
Go on and hang that man who says the best things in life are for free 
Keepin' up with the Joneses is killing me 
She's just one more bad habit I was too blind to see 

She spent all my money just like it was spare change 
I wonder what I'll lose first my life or my mind 
Don't know the doors from the windows 
Shee keeps me amused, damaged, and abused 

And she said "Small change don't make no sense 
and your words are worthless too 
And ya best bring home more bacon, darlin', 
or you and me is through" 

Keepin' up with the Joneses is killing me 
Go on and hang that man who says the best things in life are for free 
Keepin' up with the Joneses is killing me 
She's just one more bad habit I was too blind to see
