| Paycheck Blues You took everything that I owned and gave me nothing back in return Stayed right by my side until my bank account ran dry My landlord gave me notice. He hadn't seen a dime in eight weeks My Cadillac, it was impounded, now I'm driving round on my own two feet I'm too broke to pay my dues I gave you my last paycheck, you paid me back with blues. When I think about you I cry, but it's not your tears in my eyes Every word you said was untrue I lost everything when I found you You can't squeeze blood from a stone, but that don't mean that you never tried You don't know what's in front of your face when you're always looking up to the sky My mother always tried to warn me 'bout wicked little girls like you You're always trying to step on somebody like you got something to prove I'm too broke to pay my dues I gave you my last paycheck, you paid me back with blues. When I think about you I cry, but it's not your tears in my eyes Every word you said was untrue I lost everything when I found you You know I kinda miss my money I want back my dimes, pennies, I kinda miss my nickels too You know, you can keep my money Just as long as you stay gone. |
