Rich Kid 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.
Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues,
Got shoes and money, good friends, too.
I always play to win, and always seem to lose,
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.
And I know what's going on,
And I know that the way is too long.
And I know just exactly what's on your mind,
You'll be back and I'll lose you forever.
But I'm wondering why, girl, should I ask your name
All the people standing by, are they in my game ?
Love is just a story, a story without words,
Words are even never seen and never even heard.
And I know what's going on,
And I know that the way is too long.
And I know just exactly what's on your mind,
You'll be back and I'll lose you forever.
Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues
Got shoes and money, good friends, too.
I always play to win, always seem to lose,
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues.
