Jon Hanson songs
Here is the rewrite:
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.

GUESS YOU COULD SAY I GOT IT ALL
IT’S THE AMERICAN DREAM
EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED I GOT
EVEN THE LATEST BIG SCREEN
WITH 20 CREDIT CARDS I GET AROUND
AND BOTH MY CARS I GOT FOR A DOLLAR DOWN
CHECK OUT MY BASS BOAT AND NEW JET SKI
I GOT ‘EM BOTH BY SAYING: CHARGE IT PLEASE!
I’M A CREDIT CARD JUNKIE
PLAYIN’ THE CARDS I’M DEALT
I KNOW I’LL JUST KEEP ON SHOPPING
UNTIL THE PLASTIC MELTS
MAYBE I CAN SELL A KIDNEY
DO I EVEN NEED A SPLEEN?
IF YOU ADD UP ALL THE MONEY I OWE
I REALLY DON’T OWN A THING
MAYBE I DON’T UNDERSTAND HIGH FINANCE
EVERY MONTH I GET NEW CARDS
I’M UP DEBT CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE
USING VISA TO PAY MASTERCARD
GOT A JUMBO MORTGAGE AND A LITTLE IRA
THERE’S TWO WEEKS OF BILLS FOR EVERY WEEK OF PAY!
I SPEND EVEN MORE JUST TO EASE THE PAIN
THOSE LITTLE PLASTIC CARDS ARE LIKE CRACK COCAINE!
REPEAT CHORUS ONE
I LOVE THE HIGH I GET FROM SPENDING
EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT’S CRAZY
I WANT WHAT I WANT AND I WANT IT NOW
IT’LL TAKE MORE THAN 12 STEPS TO SAVE ME
I’M A CREDIT CARD JUNKIE
AND THERE AIN’T NO DOUBT
I NEED TO GET ON A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM
TO HELP BAIL ME OUT
THEY BAILED OUT THE BANKS AND AIG
HELPING ME SHOULDN’T BE HARD
I CAN’T REFINANCE ANYMORE
AND I OWE MY SOUL TO MASTERCARD
½ OF 1ST CHORUS OR SO AND START FADE
Vocal Danny Jones Atlanta
