    Turnabout
    (Lyrics by Benjamin Repp)

    [Stanza 1]

    ◊ Lost my job, Can’t pay rent

    Been overtaxed by the government

    I can’t believe the debt I’m in

    When I roll the dice I rarely win

    [Chorus 1]

    ¶ But I’ve got no reason

    to ever doubt

    this life of mine

    will take a turnabout

    [Stanza 2]

    ◊ Got the repo man, knocking at my door

    spent my last dollar at the liquor store

    my credit card is singing the blues

    the electric company wants to break my fuse

    [Chorus 2]

    ¶ But I’ve got no reason

    to ever doubt

    this life of mine

    will take a turnabout

    (solo on main stanza 4x – then break riff)

    [Stanza 3]

    ◊ The doctor says I better pay my bill

    or he won’t be coming round, next time I’m ill

    The judge just gave me a fifty dollar fine

    For getting kind of crazy with a bottle of wine

    [Chorus 3]

    ¶ But I’ve got no reason

    to ever doubt

    this life of mine

    will take a turnabout
