I've got the spare change blues Don't know how, don't know where I will spend my last dime I might save it, I might spend it And hope it does me well I've got the spare change blues Living without has been a part of me And I can tell ya, it ain't a place to be Feels like all your pockets are filled with holes Soon as you make a dime, whoa there it goes Busted holes in my one pair of shoes Never felt the feeling of wearing them new Always short, just a few pennies less One step further from happiness I've got the spare change blues Don't know how, don't know where I will spend my last dime I might save it, I might spend it And hope it does me well I've got the spare change blues A wild ride, it may take you And sparing your change is the first thing you should do Poverty has many battles and you can't win them all It's a trip in life and anyone can fall I've got the spare change blues Don't know how, don't know where I will spend my last dime I might save it, I might spend it And hope it does me well I've got the spare change blues Busted holes in my one pair of shoes Never felt the feeling of wearing them new Always short, just a few pennies less Another step further from happiness I've got the spare change blues Don't know how, don't know where I will spend my last dime I might save it, I might spend it And hope it does me well I've got the spare change blues I've got the spare change blues Well I've got the spare change blues
