By The Side Of The Road, Dressed To Kill

Jackie Greene
Album : Dig Years 2001-2005

You just can? t trust them pretty girls
They? re only here to wreck your world
And make sure you never get to sleep at night
I don? t know the reasons why
They all wanna hang you out to dry
Till? you ain? t got strength enough left to fight
Oh but I? m in trouble
Like I know you? re bound to get in trouble too
And I know that it won? t be long
Before the man you love is loving someone new
I walked up to the river bridge and
Stood myself up on the ledge and
Screamed out to everyone:? let me be?
I got me a worried mind
Gonna find me a worried kind
Of girl, who? s lonesome just like me
And I know I? m just one of your poor boys
That you swore you? d never leave behind
And I can see right through you
And I know that you? re not my kind
Now all my money? s gone
To someplace that it don? t belong
I? m singing the broken-down-poorboy blues
I ain? t got nothing to my name
But nothing is my favorite game to play
Cause there? s never anything to lose
