Broke Blues

[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
