A fun blues song I wrote during the January lockdown period. Hope you enjoy!
MINIMUM PAYMENT BLUES
Music and lyrics copyright 2022 Darren Bailey
I got the minimum payment blues
And I’m barely getting by
I got the minimum payment blues
And I’m barely getting by
But since my baby paid her love forward
I’m the richest man alive
I’ve been rubbing dimes together
Trying to make a spark
Yes I’ve been rubbing dimes together
And I’m trying to make a spark
I didn’t see the hydro disconnect letter
I can’t read in the dark
Chorus
Well I got Haggard on the player
But I got Cash on my mind
Yes I got Merle Haggard on the record player
But I got Cash on my mind
And if we make it through December
I might still have those two dimes
Chorus
Since she paid it forward
Things are going great
The last thing that I’m looking for
Is a better interest rate
Chorus
I got the minimum payment blues
I got the minimum payment blues
I got the minimum payment blues
I got the minimum payment blues
And if you’re anything like me
I bet you got yours too
