I should know to leave them home
Em G C G
They follow me through the store with these toys I can't afford
Em G A7 C7M
Kids, take them back, you know better than that
Em G
Dolls that talk, astronauts, t.v. games, airplanes
A7 C7M
They don't understand and how can I explain?
G D/F# Em D C
I try and try but I can't save
G D/F# Em D C
Pennies, nickels dollars slip away

Em G C G
My youngest girl has bad fever, sure
Em G C G
All night with alcohol to cool and rub her down
Em G A7 C7M
Ruby, I'm tired, try and get some sleep
Em G
I'm adding doctor's fees to remedies
A7 C7M
With the cost of three day's work lost
G D/F# Em D C
I try and try but I can't save
G D/F# Em D C
Pennies, nickels dollars slip away
G D/F# Em D C
I've tried and tried but I can't save

The hole in my pocketbook is growing

There's a new wind blowing they say
G Em
It's gonna be a cold, cold one
C D
So brace yourselves my darlings

It won't bring anything much our way
Em
But more bust bowl days

I played a card in this weeks game

Took the first and the last letters in three of their names

This lottery's been building up for weeks

I could be lucky me with the five million prize

Tears of disbelief spilling out of my eyes
