[Verse 1]
E
He slept right by the yogurt hut on a painted curb
A B B7
Wearing nothing but some cut-offs and a muscle shirt
E
And at five AM, the donut girls came quietly to work
A B B7
When they slid the trays and banged the bowls, you woke up with a jerk
 
[Verse 2]
E
Thirty-two ounce soda to start the day off right
A B B7
Every now and then remembering little things about last night
E
Hold on, take five, check out the fox in the Corvette
A B B7
Then you said, "You know it don't get no better than that"

[Verse 3]
E
He spent all the money on an ornate waterbed
A B B7
It had a carving of a tiger right above his head
E
And he's embarassed of the fact that he works at Pizza Shack
A B B7
He says he made 90K a year before he hurt his back
 
[Verse 4]
E
And the money his sister owes him, his cousin has, but he's in jail
A B B7
There's all these checks that should be arriving any day now in the mail
E
But mysteriously, the checks won't show and the sticky boombox by the door
A B B7
Will end up getting sold once more for a lot less than before
