Vincent Neil Emerson - Debtor's Blues - Luck Mansion Sessions lyrics

Artist: Vincent Neil Emerson

album: Live at Luck Mansion


Well the world is on its head
And I thank my lucky stars that I ain't dead
I spent my whole life in the red
And I've done my best to keep my family fed
But when I lay my burdens down
Keep my debts out of your mind just for a while
All my troubles and my trials
They lay scattered on the trail
For miles and miles
I been payin' my whole life
Tryin' hard to find the blame for all my strife
I been burning through my check
And I never felt their gold around my neck
Aww but that gold it don't shine
As bright as worn out steel rail on the line
And if you ride it you might find
That the faces on your change
Will change with time
I was a victim of the charge
I made and spent my pay in honky tonks and bars
But good times don't pay the bills
And a belly by itself does not fill
So I'll keep savin' up my pay
Waitin' on a new uncloudy day
Watch all the hard times drift away
Then I'll no longer be chained
To their dismay
Well the world is on its head
And I thank my lucky stars that I ain't dead
I spent my whole life in the red
Oh and I done my best to keep my family fed
But when I lay my burdens down
Keep my debts out of your mind just for a while
All of my troubles and my trials
They lay scattered on the trail
For miles and miles.
