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
