[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning about 10 am
Back on the road to play those same old songs again
A fifth of whiskey and this old guitar
My nightly run from bar to bar
[Chorus]
Then it's back home again
Just enough money to pay my rent
Fridge is empty there's mail by the door
More bills this life cannot afford
Damn, I'm really poor
[Verse 2]
Last night's run had to come to an end
One more shot of whiskey to forget it all again
The more that I drink, the better I feel
'till tomorrow morning when everything is real
[Chorus]
Then it's back home again
Just enough money to pay my rent
Fridge is empty there's mail by the door
More bills this life cannot afford
Damn, I'm really poor
[Bridge]
When I'm drinking whiskey, it always goes away
Chasing dreams, I know I'll get there some day
Too much whiskey, too much gasoline
The only thing that I've got left are these broken songs I sing
[Chorus]
Then it's back home again
Just enough money to pay my rent
Fridge is empty there's mail by the door
More bills this life cannot afford
Damn, I'm really poor
