Wandering Man

Walls keep falling while I look the other way

Never meant for hanging on

Told my lady that the bread was coming home

Lately all that bread is gone

She said, "Oh, my, don't be shy

If you're sleeping in my bed

But don't mind coming by

If you don't bring home that bread"

I said, "The good times are over

I can't get no relief

Mama, I'm broke down and lonely, on my knees

I never go easy, believe me

I'm always gonna hold the line

This wandering man got a hell of a plan

But he's running out of time"

I said to my bill collector, "Don't come knocking at my door

There ain't no money for you here

And if I had a single dollar to my name

Well, I'd go spend on my dear"

And he says, "Oh, my, don't you try

To keep your money hid

Time keeps ticking by

I ain't playing with you, kid"

I said, "The good times are over

I can't get no relief

Mama, I'm broke down and lonely, on my knees

I never go easy, believe me

I'm always gonna hold the line

But this wandering man got a hell of a plan

But he's running out of time"

I can't hold this house of cards for long

I can't hold this house of cards for long, and long, and long

I can't hold this house of cards for long

I can't hold this

I can't hold it now

The good times are over

I can't get no relief

Mama, I'm broke down and lonely, on my knees

I never go easy, believe me

I'm always gonna hold the line

This wandering man got a hell of a plan

But he's running out of time

Said this wandering man got a hell of a plan

But he's running out of time

This wandering man got a hell of a plan

But he's running out of time
