One more time. Just a little thing they call they poor man blues. I've been a working in a cotton field way down south. Choppin' and a pickin' lord and followin' the plow.
Well, I'm sitting here wondering, would a matchbox hold my clothes?. Yeah, I'm sitting here wondering, would a matchbox hold my clothes?. I ain't got no matches, but I got a long way to go.
Well, how can you say you will, when you won't. You tell me you do, baby, when you don't?. Let me know, honey, how you feel. Tell the truth now is love real.
Mama, here's to mama. . Who was the first to love me so. And tenderly helped me to grow, mama. Who cleaned my nose and washed my clothes. And kept me warm through the winter's cold, mama.
Oh, sometimes it ain't easy boy, to roll out bed. And shake the cobwebs a-hangin' from your head. But you were born to be in the human race. And if you don't start movin'You're gonna finish in last place.
Well it's one for the money, two for the show. Three to get ready, now go cat go. But don't you, step on my blue suede shoes. You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.
Well all my friends are bopping the blues it must be going round. All my friends are bopping the blues it must be going round. I love you baby but I must be rhythm bound.
There was an old woman that lived in a shoe. Had so many children, she didn't know what to do. They were doin' all right, 'til she took 'em to town. The kids started pickin' 'em up and puttin' 'em down.
When she told me she was leaving, I told her I'd be fine. I guess I never thought she'd make it to that city limit sign. Lord, I waited twenty minutes thinking she'd come running back.
We can go and walk in the darkness. Get relief at each. Streetlight. I don't know how much it would cost us. . Probably more than I've spent in my whole life.
I wish people would stop yelling and start listening. I wish birds would start talking and stop whistling. . Cause they know things that I don't know.
Look at us what have we done. The final round has just begun. When the lights turn out tonight. I find myself in your dark eyes, eyes. . We let the wind take us to the storm.
Free drinks and unfamiliar faces. You've never been a fan of these places. I'm overdosing on caffeine. And you can't hear me. . But I'm by your side. .
Living in a time when no one cares or gives a shit,. the world now cold and hard. Senseless killing, no apparent reason. Suffer the greed of what the others got.
There comes a time in our lives. To ask the question will we survive. Reach for a future within our grasp. Tryin' not to lose hold of our past. . All these decisions comin' on.
Fly by night scenester, Fly by night hipster. One more newjack wants to set the rules. Fly by night scenester, Fly by night hipster. . Never suffered, never paid the dues living contradiction,.
Abused used the way we felt. Dirt cheap the way you dealt. Talk talk nothing's said. Speeches promises don't mean a thing. Empty words from your mouth.
Does anybody realize what's goin' on. Take a look around and you will see that we're destroying ourselves. Does everybody out there have a chip on their shoulders.
Here it is, once again,. tales of betrayal by the ones we call our friends. took us long to get where we are. now we're told what we've done is wrong.
Floating, but gasping for a breath. Paying through the nose for every bit of air. Strapped and bleak. Where's the feast in feast or famine. . Strapped and bleak.
