Lyrics

Lord my mother she done told me and my father done told me
 My father told me too, yeah my mother she done told me
 And my father done told me, my father told me too, it's a mean old town to
live in by yourself
 Yeah, work for a dollar or several thousand, could not save a dime
 You know I worked for a dollar, or several thousand, man couldn't save a dime
 Ain't nobody worried and there isn't nobody's crying
 Yeah, I got my hands outside to get a hold on, try to get some of my cash
 Lord I try to get my hands outside to get a hold on, try to get some of
my cash
 It's those great big smiles to keep us out of that trash
 So I packed up my suitcase and I move on down, hit that lonesome road
 You know I packed up my suitcase and I hit that lonesome, move on down
 I'm still crying to make it when the day was done
