No Car No Wife No Money

I have no car, I have no wife, Guess that's the story of my life  

Got married in my early twenties 
Had no car, Had no money 

I fell in love with this girl named Honey
Got a part-time job mowing grass
Finally had a little chance 

Bought a new TV, Black n white
Always in bed early, tossed and turned every night 

My Honey went to work at a local store 
Wasnt a Walmart, Not one in sight 
But that soon changed overnight 

Bought a used Pinto , Thought i was class 
A little bitty car didn't use much gas 
Bought a little kitten, Then a pup
Then the Pinto and I ran outta luck 

Got hit in the rear the damn car blew up 
Really put me in a rut

Had some burns a few minor cuts 
Think my Honey was gonna go nuts 
Honey its ok im all right 

"Well, how do I  get to work tonight? "

At the store where she worked, she ended up in a fight 
Went to jail 4 days 3 nights 
Then when I thought I couldn't take any more 
She ran off with the guy next door

There I was no car, no life no money
No little girl I called Honey

Turned on the radio what do I hear?
 
Willie n Waylon crying in beer 
Think that's bad,  They should be here 
Had no glass, much less a beer 

 Had to get a job close to my tent, Had no money to pay no rent 
Found a job 2 miles away 
Pumpin gas, So little pay 

Met a girl I liked a lot 
2 months later we tied the knot

Sure wasnt gonna call her Honey 
She made my life bright, called her Sunny 
Then 2 months later,  it sure wasn't funny 
She worked in a bank, Stole a lot of money 
Put in prison, 10 to 20 

Not gonna mention the other 3 wives 
I'm just lucky to survive 

It all comes down to this 
None of them do I miss
But all in all, Lifes ok 
I'm still alive in the USA 
Still No Car, Still No Money 
But that's ok,  Life is funny 

Don't need No car, No Wife, No Money
