By The Side Of The Road, Dressed To Kill - Jackie Greene

You just can't trust them pretty girls

They're only here to wreck your world

And make sure you never get to sleep at night

I don't know the reasons why

They all wanna hang you out to dry

Till' you ain't got strength enough left to fight

Oh but I'm in trouble

Like I know you're bound to get in trouble too

And I know that it won't be long

Before the man you love is loving someone new

I walked up to the river bridge and

Stood myself up on the ledge and

Screamed out to everyone: 'let me be'

I got me a worried mind

Gonna find me a worried kind

Of girl, who's lonesome just like me

And I know I'm just one of your poor boys

That you swore you'd never leave behind

And I can see right through you

And I know that you're not my kind

Now all my money's gone

To someplace that it don't belong

I'm singing the broken-down-poorboy blues

I ain't got nothing to my name

But nothing is my favorite game to play

Cause there's never anything to lose
