The Poor House Lyrics & Tabs by The Boxmasters
The Poor House
guitar chords lyrics
Reno is sparkling ahead, honey
I thought I'd give you a call
Looking for tomato to be sunny
In the midst of this snowfall
I let you and the kids down
For way too long now
Hoping to turn our life around
If I can just figure out how
I'm working on a plan to save our home
Keep us out of the poor house, pay off those loans
I'm working on a plan to save our home
Keep us out of the poor house and I won't do it stoned
I'll sit with the grannies at the nickel machines
And pull handles till my hands are blue
I'll do just about anything
I'll sit with the grannies at the nickel machines
And pull handles till my hands are blue
I'll do just about anything
To bring a future home to you
I'll put down the pills and liquor
You know I tried to keep a job
I just think that this'll be quicker
If I can win a little of the mob
Well my plan don't work exactly, honey
But I do have a little good news
I'm not bringing home any money
But I didn't turn back to booze
I guess its back to the drawing board
Ideas are starting to brew
I'm bringing back all I can afford
And that's love to the kids and you
