The other day I checked my bank account
F
And I could swear it was the wrong amount
C
And I didn't understand cause
G
I been working hard
C
For the life of me I didn't know where it went
F
I hadn't even paid the rent
C G C
Then the Mercedes pulled up in the yard
F
Oh lord I should've seen it coming
F7 G
This time I'm in deep
C
Now I'm heading to the poor house
Or heading to jail
F
And if I end up there I ain't making bail
F7 G
And if it goes to court I sure don't have a case
C
Cause I ran out of money some time ago
F
But if you look at my wife you'd never know
F7 G
I'm afraid my baby's got champagne taste...
C
On a beer budget

C
Well my throat dried up and my heart just sunk
F
As she motioned me over and popped the trunk
C G
And I tried to ignore her absent-minded smile
C
And boy, I was greeted by quite the crew,
F
This Loius Vuitton and some Jimmy Choo
C G C
And those were just the fellas that were sitting on top of the pile
F F7 G
I said, "baby, there's a Wal-mart a block away and I don't think they sell these brands."

Now I'm heading to the poor house
Or heading to jail

They're gonna haul my ass away [They're gonna haul his ass away]
Am G F
And I won't see her pretty face at all
F7 G
Cause the prison's nowhere near the mall...

Now I'm heading to the poor house
Or heading to jail
