High Inflation Blues Lyrics - Singles - Moe Bandy

Tryin' to make a livin' it's harder every day 

By the time I see a dollar just another bill to pay 

I got a wife and family and the bills are pilin' high 

These days it ain't easy for a working man to get by 

I can't help but wonder what a man suppose to do 

I got those hard breaking escalatin' high inflation blues 

[ steel ] 

By the time I get the payday the money's already gone 

Someone's eatin' chicken all I git is the bones 

My wife needs a new coat the kids need clothes to school 

We're all out of grocery's and it's Tuesday afternoon 

Well it could drive a man to drinkin' but I can't afford the booze 

I got those hard breaking escalatin' high inflation blues 

[ fiddle ] 

The cost of livin' keeps goin' up the taxes ain't goin' down 

I'm just treadin' water to tryin' not to drown 

Mr Courter I know you're up there and I should could use a hen 

So won't you please have mercy on a common working man 

I just keep on tryin' doin' all that I can do 

I got those hard breaking escalatin' high inflation blues (yodel)
