Child Support

Child support, child support
Lord, help me pay my child support

Well, when I got married, they said it was forever
I should have been smart and said no, not never
First the rent came due, then my wife did too
The next thing I knew was a brand new father

Child support, child support
Lord, help me pay my child support
You better not act hockey, or they put you in a pokey
Lord, help me pay my child support

Well-fed directors and bill collectors
Repossesses and small claims court
Well, it ain't funny when you're going hungry
Paying alimony and child support

Child support, child support
Lord, help me pay my child support
You better not stammer, or they put you in a slammer
Lord, help me pay my child support

Beans and tatters and three kids later
Stand in front and center of a divorce court
The judge said, "Son, this is an order
It's bread and water or child support"

Child support, child support
Lord, help me pay my child support
You better not holler, or they get you by the collar
Lord, help me pay my child support

Oh, God, send that money
Like a letter from the man who said
"Buck, you better send that child support and you better send it today
"And if you don't send it, say we gonna come and get you
"So you better send it or else"
And I didn't know what else was
So I went out to find some money since
They said, "Send some more"
