Debtor’s Blues (Luck Mansion Sessions) Lyrics by Vincent Neil Emerson

Live at Luck Mansion

2022

[Intro]
This next song is about bein' broke
This is called "Debtor's Blues"
[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
So 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 payin' my whole life
Tryin' hard to find the blame for all my strife
I've been burnin' through my checks
But I never felt thеir gold around my neck
Oh, but that gold, it don't shine
As bright as worn-out steel rail on the linе
So if you ride it, you might find
That the faces on your change will change with time
[Verse 3]
I was a victim of the charge
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
I 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
So 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
