[Verse]
I’ve got no money not a dime to my name
This empty pocket feels like a crying shame
No smoke for my lungs no burn for my throat
Life’s a sinking ship without a boat
[Verse 2]
Can’t afford a cigarette to ease this pain
No whiskey to drown out the cold hard rain
My shoes are worn weary soles don’t hold
Walking through streets where stories get old
[Chorus]
I’m broke so broke can’t even buy the blues
Walking in shadows got nothing to lose
The weight of the world is all I’ll collect
Broke down and hollow just wreck after wreck
[Verse 3]
Sleeping by the neon where the city hums low
Dreams float away where the hurt bells go
Trying to fight demons with empty fists
The echo of hunger is a stubborn twist
[Bridge]
Hear the wind howlin’ through an empty street
It’s singing my song with a desperate beat
Every note’s a whisper of what I could find
If I weren’t stuck in the back of my mind
[Chorus]
I’m broke so broke can’t even buy the blues
Walking in shadows got nothing to lose
The weight of the world is all I’ll collect
Broke down and hollow just wreck after wreck
