Dust Bowl |
I should know to leave them home |
They follow me through the store |
With these toys i can’t afford |
«kids, take them back |
You know better than that» |
Dolls that talk, astronauts, t.V. |
Games, airplanes |
They don’t understand |
And how can i explain? |
I try and try but i can’t save |
Pennies, nickels, dollars slip away |
I’ve tried and tried but i can’t save |
My youngest girl has bad fever, sure |
All night with alcohol |
To cool and rub her down |
Ruby, i’m tired |
Try and get some sleep |
I’m adding doctor’s fees to remedies |
With the cost of |
Three day’s work lost |
I try and try but i can’t save |
Pennies, nickels, dollars slip away |
I’ve tried and tried but i can’t save |
The hole in my pocketbook is growing |
There’s a new wind blowing they say |
It’s gonna be a cold, cold one |
So brace yourselves my darlings |
It won’t bring anything much our way |
But more dust bowl days |
I played a card |
In this week’s game |
Took the first and the last letters |
In three of their names |
This lottery’s been building up for weeks |
I could be lucky me |
With the five million prize |
Tears of disbelief spilling out of my eyes |
