Broken Home Blues

There were the hard times There were the sad times Maybe some good times But mostly just bad times I just can't win, and I just can't lose These low down broken home blues I did all cooking And cleaning for you Until they turned off the power And the water too I just can't win, and I just can't lose These low down broken home blues She put her things in pile And said with a smile It's gonna be a while Until you see the likes of me You probably don't care But I've got to be somewhere There's a lot of important people Waiting for me there I busted my hump For the two of us So why you got to go and Throw me under the bus I just can't win, and I just can't lose These low down broken home blues She put her things in pile And said with a smile It's gonna be a while Maybe never and a day But what she meant to say Baby I'll make you pay You'll be so sad and lonely Until your last dying day She took all my pride She took all my joy She took all my money And both of the boys I just can't win, I just can't lose These old low down broken home blues There were the hard times We had the sad times Maybe some good times But mostly just bad times Just can't win, just can't lose Got these old low down broken home blues
