Dust bowl
I should know to leave them home. they follow me through the store with
These toys I cant afford. kids, take them back, you know better than that.
Dolls that talk, astronauts, t.v. games, airplanes, they dont understand and
How can I explain? I try and try but I cant save. pennies, nickels, dollars
Slip away. Ive tried and tried but I cant save.
My youngest girl has bad fever, sure. all night with alcohol trying to
Cool and to rub her down. ruby, Im tired, try and get some sleep. Im adding
Doctors fees to remedies to the cost of three days work lost. I try and try
But I cant save. pennies, nickels, dollars slip away. Ive tried and tried but
I cant save. the hole in my pocketbook is growing.
Theres a new wind blowing they say, its gonna be a cold, cold one. so
Brace yourselves my darlings, it wont bring anything much our way but more
Dust bowl days.
I played a card in this weeks game. took the first and the last letters
In three of their names. this lotterys been building up for weeks. I could be
Lucky me with the five million prize, tears of disbelief spilling out of my
Eyes. I try and try but I cant save. pennies, nickels, dollars slip away. ive
Tried and tried but I cant save. the hole in my pocketbook is growing.
Theres a new wind blowing they say, its gonna be a cold, cold one. so
Brace yourselves my darlings, it wont bring anything much our way but more
Dust bowl days.
