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
