Lyrics

6. In Every Town – 4:12

I thought I’d have myself together by now
I thought I’d make my Mom and Daddy so proud
But I don’t have a dime
I’m getting older all of the time
I’m so blue what can I do?
I can’t catch a break
I – I – I only get in my way, God what a joke
I’ve been alone and broke in every town

Can’t say nobody warned me this would be hard
I’ve sung my sorrows in a hundred different bars
But a man stole my guitar
I couldn’t chase him I don’t have a car
I’m a tough thing but now I have nothing
I can’t play the blues
I – I – I swear it’s all I can do
God what a joke I’ve been alone and broke in every town

I’ve been a waitress, a sitter, a cook and a maid
I swallow my pride take what I can get to get paid
But if I wake up one day
A dog and a trailer all bitter and grey
Singin’ no one will hear alone with a beer
I should of stayed in school
But I – I – I can’t follow the rules
God what a joke I’ve been alone and broke in every town
