New Street Blues |
| Sitting here is really bringing me down |
| I think I’ll get up and go downtown |
| Have a drink and maybe look up a friend |
| To talk the hours away and hope the night will never end. |
| Look in my pockets to see what I’ve got |
| I count my money, I don’t have a lot |
| The situation is always the same |
| I’ve got to get out of here, this place is driving me insane. |
| Hold on, I’m getting the new street blues. |
| About a year ago, I knocked on this door |
| I asked my friend if I could sleep on the floor |
| He took me in, said I was welcome to stay |
| I told him then that I was going to pay him back someday. |
| He took me in and all he asked was a song |
| It didn’t sound me when I knew it was wrong |
| It got so bad that we were drunk every night |
| And I’d pretend that come tomorrow night things would be alright. |
| Hold on, I’m getting the new street blues. |
| Sitting here is really bringing me down |
| I think I’ll get up and go downtown |
| Have a drink and maybe look up a friend |
| To talk the hours away and hope the night will never end. |
| Look in my pockets to see what I’ve got |
| I count my money, I don’t have a lot |
| The situation is always the same |
| I’ve got to get out of here, this place is driving me insane. |
| Hold on, I’m getting the new street blues. |
