20-Dollar Blues

Twenty dollars in my pocket And it just screams your name Said I got twenty dollars And it just screams your name If I had me some wheels I’d take the back roads to where you stay All the way Darling I could really use your company Because without you I go insane Twenty dollars in my pocket love If it were a hundred it’d be the same Said if I was a rich man all I’d have A million dollars that’d scream your name Baby I know money don’t buy the love But it’d get me to where you stay If I had me some wheels I’d take the back roads all the way But all’s I got me’s these boots And now that bourbon feels my pain And when my twenty dollars is gone I’ll be drunk Singing your name (c) 2015
