Hypocrisy as it oughta be, that's called good business  
Sometimes it really bothers me how I got in this  
Took this job a-thinkin' I'd be movin' up some day  
Been too busy drinkin' to be carin' either way 
 
The wife she ain't been workin' 'cause her time is growing near  
But the IRS ain't takin' no sabbaticals this year  
Working on commission against weekly guarantees  
This soldier's on a mission but it ain't for charity  
 
CHORUS 
 
Give me just one moment with the wheel between my hands  
Just one moment, I'll make you understand  
Don't confuse all the games you lose with failing as a man  
Just one moment, I'll show you who I am 
 
Went in to see the boss man to ask him for a raise  
Never did quite understand all the reasons that he gave  
His 8" X 10" of Jesus had turned it's back to me  
I guess mortal man can't comprehend that dense morality  
 
So I bought my wife some roses and I tied them with a bow  
Called the boss up at 3 AM and I told him where to go  
Now we're driving down the highway back to where we first began  
With me back in the driver's seat and her holding my hand 
 
CHORUS
