I'm in Debt (Down Deep, In Over My Head)

I’m in Debt
(Down Deep in over My Head)
words and music by Jane Voss

Well, come hear my tale of woe
I got no place left to go
Because everywhere I look I see
Somebody that I owe!

I’m in debt
(Down deep, in over my head)
I’m in debt
(Down deep, in over my head)

1. Well, it was nothin’ that I bargained for

It was not in my plan

But lately, little by little

Things’ve got out of hand

And now the ground that I’m standin’ on

Is shakin’ under me

It’s a quagmire I’m caught in

Bein’ dragged down deeper into...

debt (down deep...)

2. I wish I had ten dollars now

For every time I heard it said

“If you keep on workin’ hard

You’re bound to get ahead”

Well, I can see where I’m gettin’

I been taken for a ride

I put my best foot forward and slide

A little deeper into...

debt (down deep...)

3. I can’t make any headway

I can’t hold on to a cent

Because before it’s even in my hand

The dough’s already spent

My cash flow is negative

I got no safety net

And there ain’t nothin’ goin’ down

except for me

I’m goin’ deeper into...

debt (down deep...)

4. Oh, I don’t know what I’m gonna do

I struggle on in vain

Just keepin’ up with my upkeep

Is drivin’ me insane

Well, you know I might think

that I’ve hit bottom

But in case there’s room for doubt

I find the bottom’s fallin’ out

and I’m goin’ down

Even deeper into...

debt (down deep...)
