Shoeshine |
| I left a fine, a fine, young woman back home |
| Life is a drag, yeah, she’s all alone |
| It’s gone, it’s gone, the life that I had |
| But don’t get me wrong, you know it’s not all bad |
| Because your eyes, your eyes, when I look in your eyes |
| I don’t think about her at all and that she’s crying |
| Your hair, your hair, I could swim in your hair |
| You asked me to leave, and you thought I wouldn’t dare |
| I used to pay to get my shoes shined |
| I think I used to have a car |
| Got a couple of children |
| I don’t care where they are |
| I played the CC on Saturday |
| I shot a 72 |
| I left it all Sunday |
| It was the day I met you |
| How long, how long, how long can this last? |
| By the way you didn’t mention any of your past |
| I had a job, a job, a high-paying job |
| Now I’m a son of a b— |
| Who’s willing to rob. |
| And steal, and steal, just to survive |
| That’s how you like it, girl, living barely alive |
| You’re shady, you’re shady like the tint on the glass |
| But I couldn’t care less ‘cause this thing is a gas |
