I hate the city it brings me down I'm a country boy I'm new to town But I never really thought it was gonna be like that Spent all my money, I'm busted flat So I'm eating my dinners at the Sally Ann Met a fellow named Charlie there, a fellow named Stan And they laugh at my clothes and the way that I talk Eight a.m. comes and I hit the streets and walk And the bus stops, the doughnut shops It's raining out today like it's never gonna stop And I got the blues I got nothing left to lose There's a hole in my shoe and my foot's getting wet And Nick at the arcade made me a bet That by Saturday noon when my money's all gone I'll be heading out of town like another sad, hard luck song And all the faces on the streets got a look of fear I can't go home but I hate it here Oh why'd I ever go and leave the farm anyway? Thought the city my help me take my blues away But the cars go by Tonight I'll stay dry Sleeping underneath an awning and trying not to cry Songtexte I got the blues I got nothing left to lose My pappy used to have a little problem drinking scotch He did a lot of stupid things We used to hate to watch But he's cleaned up his act as a matter of fact Although there's something there we lost We're never going back And I got the blues I got nothing left to lose And the concrete beneath my feet Has got inside my soul and it's sucking out the heat Aus Songtexte Mania
