Lyrics

[Intro] This next song is about bein' broke This is called "Debtor's Blues" [Verse 1] Well, the world is on its head And I thank my lucky stars that I ain't dead I've spent my whole life in the red And I've done my best to keep my family fed So when I lay my burdens down Keep my debts out of your mind just for a while All my troubles and my trials They lay scattered on the trail for miles and miles [Verse 2] I've been payin' my whole life Tryin' hard to find the blame for all my strife I've been burnin' through my checks But I never felt thеir gold around my neck Oh, but that gold, it don't shine As bright as worn-out steel rail on the linе So if you ride it, you might find That the faces on your change will change with time [Verse 3] I was a victim of the charge Made and spent my pay in honky tonks and bars But good times don't pay the bills And a belly by itself does not fill So I keep savin' up my pay Waitin' on a new uncloudy day I watch all the hard times drift away And I'll no longer be chained to their dismay [Verse 1] Well, the world is on its head And I thank my lucky stars that I ain't dead I've spent my whole life in the red And I've done my best to keep my family fed So when I lay my burdens down Keep my debts out of your mind just for a while All my troubles and my trials They lay scattered on the trail for miles and miles [Outro] All my troubles and my trials They lay scattered on the trail for miles and miles
