Empty Belly Blues No.32
Well there's folk stars in East Nashville and country wannabees downtown Who look up to all the has beens in the Brentwood mansion crowd And the Goth kids in the malls, menthol-smoking, pierced and tattoed All think that Johnny Cash hung the moon
Well there's slim and trendy girls out near the Five Points And hard candy Vandy girls out west are such a joy And there's well-adjusted, well-kept, from Bellvue living in my songs But none of 'em will ever let me stay for long
Chorus: And I'm singing each night for my supper And folks ask me how I'm doing and they can't tell So I stretch the truth till it sounds just right Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But my stomach tells me things ain't going too well
And my friends back home all say they're pulling for me Such a tough business they say it seems But I just shrug my shoulders, sip their beer and nod but then acknowledge Rock 'n' Roll's damn sure good work if you can get it
And so I hang out with my Cousin and smoke his good weed And have lunch with my Uncle and let him buy mine for me And I find an old lost lover man just in time for supper And I ask my brother if his store is hiring part-time workers
