Card was declined As you waited in line At the grocery behind her house Didn't know why But she started to cry It's a shame we can't work this out She don't even want to break I don't even want to bend Tell me how do we survive inside this town Saving my dimes And i'm almost on time To catch a train heading south Miss it again at a quarter past ten It's a long walk back to her couch She don't even want to break I don't even want to bend Tell me how do we begin to get on out Wait to get paid For a couple of days And my shoes are getting worn down Working at night and she started a fight about How i never go out She don't even want to break I don't even want to bend Tell me how do we survive inside this town
