[Verse 1] Pulled over on the shoulder Blinkers burnin' in the rain My old car quit talkin' Right in the middle of the lane Tow truck said the price Made my stomach hit the floor I just sat there holdin' What I couldn't pay for [Pre-Chorus] Gas is too high Rent took the rest Every little fix Feels like a test The bill keeps climbin' My check gets thin Tell me how you make it When you can't win [Chorus] What do you do? What do you do? When the wheels stop turnin' And the money's through What do you do? What do you do? When help don't come And the costs pile through (What do you do?) [Verse 2] Insurance, parts, and labor Another month, another hit Every time I catch my breath They find a place to chip My girlhood dreams got heavy Under this work-worn load I'm just trying to survive On a broken-down road [Pre-Chorus] Everything goes up My income goes down I keep my head up When it pulls me down No hand to catch me No easy way in Still I keep on searching For a place to stand [Chorus] What do you do? What do you do? When the wheels stop turnin' And the money's through What do you do? What do you do? When help don't come And the costs pile through (What do you do?) [Bridge] I ain't askin' for a mansion I ain't askin' for the moon Just a way to get to work And make it to the noon One more bill, one more burden Still I won't fold I got grit in my blood And fire in my soul [Final Chorus] What do you do? What do you do? When the wheels stop turnin' And the money's through What do you do? What do you do? When help don't come And the costs pile through (What do you do?)
