"Repo Man" lyrics

"Repo Man"

There's a man who leads a life of danger
With everyone he meets, he stays a stranger
He's a repo man
Oh baby, that's a repo man
Well, hey big daddy cruisin' down the line
You don't make your monthly that Mercedes is mine, I'm a repo man
Hey buddy, I'm a repo man

Well, dead beats, tax cheats, you on welfare
Had a little dry spell, repo man don't care
A repo man lives by a code
You don't pay and I own your little piece of the road

Hide it in the city, hide it in the 'burbs
You wake up and it's gone 'fore you can say the words
Repo man
Quick baby, it's the repo man

Grifters, bums, hard cases, and slobs
A real repo man, he loves his job
Couldn't tell you how many times I could've got killed or laid
You shouldn't a bought it if you couldn't a paid

Gran Torino way up in the Bronx
Guy with a pistol in his briefs and socks
Shoutin' repo man
I'll kill you, repo man
Well, a little pink nighty cryin' by the road
Sorry Miss, a repo man's got his code
I'm a repo man
Yea baby, I'm a repo man

Porch light flickering, I'm under the hood
A shot, I'm burning rubber, ahhh life is good
I'm a repo man
Yea baby, that's a repo man
Honey, I'm a repo man
Oh, that's a real repo man
Yea sugar, I'm a repo man
Good God, baby, I'm a repo man
