I WON I WON

ONCE I HAD A SECRET LOVE

DEALING WITH THE DEVIL

WHO IS BOSS?

THE KIDS LAST FIGHT

WHAT INSPIRED ME

NOT REALLY A SURPRISE

Look in the mirror and see the past
Remember buying a home a down payment asked?
Thirteen thousand dollars how did we make the payment?
Alternative forever paying someone else rent
Fast forward now another forty years
Couple has been bankrupt twice but no fears
Two children's college paid for for they live in poverty
The government will pay my kids education they owe me
Live within my means thats is not for me you see
All the years I pay on my home its now several thousand
This couple buys a home appraises for a half million
Half a year the house will be worth $750,000.
Then one day the Government says no one is paying their loans
The government has to Bail us out the rich banker moans.
You can't take away my million dollar house the owner groans
