Debtors Blues
[Verse 1]
Well the world is on its head
And I thank my lucky stars that I ain't dead
I've spent my whole life in the red
And I've done my best to keep my family fed
But when I lay my burdens down
Keep my debts out of your mind just for a while
All my troubles and my trials
They lay scattered on the trail for miles and miles

[Verse 2]
I've been paying my whole my life
Trying hard to find the blame for all my strife
I've been burning through my cheques
And I never felt their gold around my neck
Oh [and that gold?] it don't shine
As bright as worn out steel rail on the line
And if you ridе it you mind find
That the faces on your change will changе with time

[Verse 3]
I was a victim of the charge
I made and spent my pay in honky-tonks and bars
But good times don't pay the bills
And a belly by itself does not fill
So I keep savin' up my pay
Waitin' on a new uncloudy day
Watch all the hard times drift away
And I'll no longer be chained to their dismay
[Verse 4]
Well the world is on its head
And I thank my lucky stars that I ain't dead
I've spent my whole life in the red
And I've done my best to keep my family fed
But when I lay my burdens down
Keep my debts out of your mind just for a while
All my troubles and my trials
They lay scattered on the trail for miles and miles

[Outro]
All my troubles and my trials
They lay scattered on the trail for miles and miles
