lyrics

Broke dreams are killing me
that's why I'm begging for a bottle of booze
I'm going to see that sweet lady of mine
to tell her the bad news

The sun it burns
the clouds they rain
and the street is unforgiven stone
their weathered scars document a fate
that braver couldn't face alone

I used to be a hard working man
but now I can't pay my dues
I've been strumming this god damn guitar
now for too long
I got nothing to sing but the blues

And if I had another chance
I would do it just the same
I've got pit vipers in my blood
and their poison is worth the pain
their poison is worth the pain
well their poison is worth
the pain

Don't swear my luck it will turn around
no more old dreams for this old clown
and I got me a cross down in New Orleans
I'm just waiting on the train
