Asleep at the Wheel - The Wheel

A Dollar Short and a Day Late

I'm sitting in this bar and if you wonder why I'm here
I've got a good reason for drinking all this beer
It seems my bills are rising at an awful rapid rate
'Cause I'm a dollar short and a day late

This Cadillac you see me in, I won't be driving long
The repossession men will soon be here and gone
Checkbooks and calendars, I just can't keep them straight
I'm just a dollar short and a day late

Dollar short and a day late
I tried to change my luck but it seems to be my fate
No money when my honey wants to go out on a date
I'm a dollar short and a day late

Bartender, that's my story, I hope you sympathize
Tell me what I owe you, I sure won't be surprised
I'm gonna pay you someday but you're gonna have to wait
'Cause I'm a dollar short and a day late

Dollar short and a day late
I tried to change my luck, but it seems to be my fate
No money when my honey wants to go out on a date
I'm a dollar short and a day late
