Sky Rocket Empty Pocket Blues (Larry W Jones 09/30/2019) (song #7628)
Now, I try to make a livin’ while givin’ every day
But I gave my last dollar to an invoice yesterday
I had no choice if in this shanty house I want to stay
And inflation ain’t covered in my weekly weekend pay
No, inflation ain’t covered and it’s in sky rocket mode
I’m on the docket for past city bills they say I owe
Wall Street just took another big dive in the evening news
I just lose, I’ve got the sky rocket empty pocket blues
(Instrumental)
When payday rolls around the cost of living is compound
Some folks eat filet mignon, I have drumsticks for rib bones
My spouse who keeps the house wants to buy a new summer blouse
All bad news, I’ve got the sky rocket empty pocket blues
Sky rocket inflation has almost got me to drinkin’
A good thing I can’t afford it is what I’ve been thinkin’
My empty pockets have holes and don’t hold nothing but clues
Yep you knew, I’ve got the sky rocket empty pocket blues
My empty pockets have holes and don’t hold nothing but clues
Yep you knew, I’ve got the sky rocket empty pocket blues
