vincent neil emerson - debtor's blues (luck mansion sessions) 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
