When I saw him that night he was drunk as a fool
And he sat down beside me on an old barstool
And said, man I've got some bad news for you to hear
He said, times have been tough I ain't had much luck
I've had quite a thirst but ain't got a buck
So I pawned some of my things to buy a case of beer
I said, that ain't so bad cause I've been there too
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do
He said, hold on cause man I ain't done
I pawned all of my records and don't you know
Now all I listen to is the radio and I'm sorry to say
But your record, it was one
Now I'm sitting in hock don't you know
Beside Billy Ray Cyrus and some old George Jones
And a million old things that folks just threw away
Beside the microwave ovens, cassette stereos
And a wedding band from love grown cold
Hell, I knew it would happen one of these days
I'm praying one of these days some kid'll scoop it up
And save my face from gathering dust
And set me up so proud on his record shelf
When I can spare the dough you know I'm going downtown
And you know I'm gonna be pawn shop bound
And I'll just buy back my record myself
