Debtor’s Blues Lyrics by Vincent Neil Emerson

Vincent Neil Emerson

2021

[Verse 1]
Well, the world is on its head
And I thank my lucky stars that I ain't dead
I've 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
[Verse 2]
I've been paying my whole my life
Trying hard to find the blame for all my strife
I've been burning through my cheques
And I never felt their gold around my neck
Oh, and that gold, it don't shine
As bright as worn out steel rail on the line
And if you ridе it, you might find
That the faces on your change will changе with time
[Verse 3]
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 keep savin' up my pay
Waitin' on a new uncloudy day
Watch all the hard times drift away
And I'll no longer be chained to their dismay
[Verse 1]
Well, the world is on its head
And I thank my lucky stars that I ain't dead
I've 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
[Outro]
All my troubles and my trials
They lay scattered on the trail for miles and miles
