Lord I'm sick and tired of paying all these dues Cause if you ain't got nothin you got nothin left to lose I barely make a livin' it ain't a blessing it's a curse No time for myself no time for lovin' and it just seems to get worse
If you're honest but you ain't born rich then nothin' comes for free What's the use of working when there's nothing left for me Always a dead end street no matter which road I choose Lord when will I ever stop singing this flat broke blues
I used to have a boyfriend he was always by my side I never seemed to please him no matter how hard I tried He spent up all my money and left town with my car But it ain't got no gas, so I guess he won't get too far
Now he's got himself a rich girl and he's back on easy street she'll give him everything he wants I know his loving is hard to beat But she'll end up just like I did Lord she hasn't got a clue He's gonna leave that sister singin' that old flat broke blues
Hard work never did no harm that's what my daddy used to say Better to save an honest dollar than to throw it all away Don't let desire's evil hand get a hold on you Cause if you do you'll end up singin' the flat broke blues
When I had nothing left to take he had nothing left to give He broke my heart and broke the bank now I got no place to live I got holes in my pockets and water in my shoes And now the only song that I can sing is that old flat broke bluesTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
