Words: Todd Tijerina; Music: Todd Tijerina & Dave Heidt
Well I’m down and out
And my luck has gone south
And I’m feelin’ kinda mean
But I know
There’s better times around the corner
Well my rent is overdue
I’ve got holes in my shoes
And my raggedy clothes
Just seem to have the blues
But I know
I know my luck has got to change
Well ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh sweet baby
I said ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh sweet baby
I ain’t been actin’ right
Hard times make me kinda mean
Me and my guitar survive from day to day
We don’t know no other way
You know sometimes I can’t help but feel a little desperate
Always barely gettin’ by makes it so hard to be nice
Well ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh sweet baby
I said ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh sweet baby
I ain’t been actin’ right
Hard times make me kinda mean
