Lyrics
I ain?t got nobody, and my feeling are hurt.
I can?t teach songs to this guitar I?m all but out of luck.
I aint got no money.
I ain?t got no money, couldn?t buy you anything
The next time I get me a 5 dollar bill though I?m buyin me a set of guitar strings
With my money.
Well you took all my money, left me standin out in the blues.
You left me there standin with the clothes on my back and my feet standin in my shoes.
But no money,
Well you took all my money. You took it all on that day.
No matter what the cost no matter what the price, it got you out of my way.
To make money.
Now I got money, I got more then when you knew me way back when
I?m gonna keep buying these guitar strings so I can get out tonight and play again
For more money,
Now I got money, I got More then I can spend.
So don?t bother coming around me no more and stay away from my friends,
And our money.
