Lyrics
Good For Nothing Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wash my face in funky water pick my teeth with a rusty spoke
Hide your dishes and your daughters anything that might get broke
I prefer your condemnation to your suckin' sympathy
Baby good for nothing's good enough for me
I was born without a daddy and the gutter was my home
And when momma died the only thing she left me was alone
There ain't nothin' in the world that I ain't fool enough to try
I'm hard to hurt and too damn mean to die
I wash my face in funky water...
[ guitar ]
Yeah I don't need nobody girl I get by by myself
And you sure don't need me more than you don't need nobody else
Cause unless you need a hurtin' place where your heart used to be
Darling you don't want no part of me
I wash my face in funky water...
I prefer your condemnation to your suckin' sympathy
Baby good for nothing's good enough for me
