Story Behind the Song
Dana and I were driving down the interstate in Nashville, TN on our way to a party at one of our friends house. The subject turned to finances. She mentioned that she really hates being in debt. I said "No Sweat, baby.." We looked at each other and said simultaneously.."Get a Pen!"
Lyrics
I'm in Debt, No Sweat!
Send me the bill
I'm in Debt, No Sweat!
Send me the bill
ya can't take it with ya
But you know I will
I go to J.C.Penney, Saks Fifth Avenue
Gonna buy a big swater, a brand new pair of shoes
I'm in Debt, No Sweat!
Runnin' up my charge
My money's real small
But I'm livin' large
I pay interest at 21%
That's allright with me as long as I can make my rent
I'm in Debt, No Sweat!
Just send me the bill
Ya can't take it with ya
But you know I will
I pick up my baby in a white limosine
We pull into McDonald's for a bag of cheap cuisine
I'm in Debt, No Sweat!
Runnin' up my charge
My money's real small
But I'm livin' large
People say I'm crazy
Spending all my dough
All except my baby, she say "Go, Bruce, GO!!"
No Sweat, baby
Just send me the bill
You can't take it with ya
But you know I will
