Jon Hanson songs
Credit Card Junkie © 2008 Jon Hanson have a rewrite coming soon as I get the vocal on it. I met with Steve Seskin in Nashville (January 09) and he urged me to rewrite about 8 lines. I think it will be better. Fun song for me, I play it when I speak on personal finance. Need a speaker? I am at
Becky and I, we got it all It’s the American Dream
Everything we ever wanted we got
Even the latest big screen
With twenty credit cards we get around
An’ both the cars we got for a dollar down
For sixteen years I paid on Becky’s ring
I don’t save any money but I live like a king
Chorus 1 I’m a credit card junkie
And there ain’t no doubt
I need to get on a 12 step program,
to help me figure it out
People might think I am loaded
But I got no reason to sing
If you add up all the money I owe
I really don’t own a thing
Becky waits tables at TGIF;
Me, I’m still on at GM
If I work overtime, they tax it away
But that’s not the real problem
Got a jumbo mortgage and tiny IRA
There’s two weeks of bills for every week of pay!
Retail therapy can help ease the pain
But little plastic cards are my crack cocaine!
Chorus 2 I’m a credit card junkie And there ain’t no doubt I need to get on a 12 step program, to help me figure it out Maybe I can sell a kidney? Do I really need a spleen? If you add up all the money I owe I really don’t own a thing Bridge: I Fell into a Debtabetic coma Dreamed we turned this thing around We burned the credit cards and built an IRA Baby debt didn’t bring us down! Chorus 2 (repeat) Chorus 3 and fade I’m a credit card junkie And there’s no doubt I need a 12 step program, to help me figure it out Maybe I can sell Timmy? Hey, where’s little Darlene? If you add up all the money I owe I really don't own a thing (fade)
