Dale And Susie Lyrics

I think all of us can relate to Cindy

We've been there or we know someone in that place

And bravo to Cindy she found her way out

Got the education she needed found the grace

If you've got the will the drive inside

You can educate yourself change your tide

Find the way to improve your life's course

Like Cindy did we all have that force

But now we move to Dale and Susie

A middle-class life living so freely

They buy liabilities think they're assets

Living the good life but hiding the debts

Dale's got a good job or so it seems

He's a manager but his future's in dreams

Departments closing peers losing their way

Worried about tomorrow can't see the light of day

Susie's got a job she truly despises

Wants more time for her kids but compromises

With toys and lessons and dinners out

Trying to balance it all there's too much doubt

But now we move to Dale and Susie

A middle-class life living so freely

They buy liabilities think they're assets

Living the good life but hiding the debts

Dale thinks he's a smart investor

Chasing the dream it's a twisted gesture

Get-rich-quick schemes using credit to play

But every investment leads him further astray

He's using the cards his house is a pawn

Each bad decision brings him closer to gone

And Susie didn't know she relied on Dale

But when they faced reality they had to set sail

It was painful but they had to see

Where they were financially

They had to get honest get on the same page

Before they could turn another stage

But now we move to Dale and Susie

A middle-class life living so freely

They buy liabilities think they're assets

Living the good life but hiding the debts

Their financial statement wasn't pretty

Expenses too high liabilities gritty

Three mortgages car loans credit card debt

A plan to fix it seemed like a tough bet

They kept digging borrowing more

But the hole was too deep to ignore

So they stopped digging had to slow down

Face their issues no more running around

But now we move to Dale and Susie

A middle-class life living so freely

They buy liabilities think they're assets

Living the good life but hiding the debts

They made progress started to change

Dale found a CPA it was time to arrange

Tax savings and debt reduction a new plan

No more playing the game of the common man

But Dale's need to catch up drove him again

Took a risk but it led to his pain

Borrowed against cards played the risky game

Lost it all and his debt remained the same

But now we move to Dale and Susie

A middle-class life living so freely

They buy liabilities think they're assets

Living the good life but hiding the debts

Through the losses they grew stronger

Had to work together make the plan last longer

In the end they found the key

Together they'd build a future happy and free
