LYRICS

Well I’ve got 25 cents til Friday
“Past Due”s and “Shut Off”s we can’t pay
We’ll be outdoors if we can’t make the rent
My phone is off, I can’t call the bank
Can’t drive to pantries on an empty tank
When the paycheck comes, that money’s already been spent

Well it’s the broke ass blues
That has my heart torn in two
I paid my dues
Can’t seem to make that mountain move
They say the way out is through
But just what the hell
Am I supposed to do
When I can’t pay my bills
Singing these broke ass blues

I emptied my apps of all of my funds
Used up the rest of our WIC for the month
And fell to my knees “Please, God, see us through.”
Cuz I don’t see how we’ll get through this mess
They charge us, and fine us, and tax us to death
Can’t pick myself up by my bootstraps if I ain’t got boots

And it’s the broke ass blues
That has my heart torn in two
I paid my dues
Can’t seem to make that mountain move
They say the way out is through
But just what the hell
Am I supposed to do
Am I just wasting my time
Singing these broke ass blues

They say the way out is through
But just what the hell
Am I supposed to do
When I can’t feed my kids
Singing these broke ass blues
