Lyrics

Woke up late, boss said, Boy, you're done
Guess jokin' 'bout his wife ain't all that fun
Packed my things in a cardboard box
Even my plant looked sad, wearin' socks
Drove off in my truck, she coughed then died
Now she's parked on Main like she's too proud to ride
And to top it off, with perfect aim
My left boot's got a leakin' shame
Broke again, like last July
When my dog ran off and my beer went dry
Smilin' wide with a busted grin
Hangin' on by a bottle and a safety pin
Life keeps swingin' like a barroom door
But I've been kicked outta better times before
Ain't nothin' new, just the same ol' pain
Guess I'm broke again
Came home hopin' she'd say let's talk
Instead found a note and a suitcase walk
She took the blender, the cat, and the bed
Left me the dishes and the bills instead
Even my jukebox skipped my song
Played "She's Gone" twice just to prove me wrong
Lord, if you're listenin', here's my plea
At least let me keep my damn TV
Broke again, like spring before
When my cousin stole my mower and I fell through the floor
Tryin' to laugh with a splintered pride
Gluin' dreams back with some Southern fried
Life keeps rollin' like a flat spare tire
But I've danced in worse with my boots on fire
It's a sad ol' game, but I know the frame
Yeah, I'm broke again
You'd think by now I'd learn the drill
Don't date my landlord, don't skip that bill
But here I am in a flannel of shame
Livin' on ramen and secondhand fame
Broke again, but I ain't dead
Still got my hat and this song in my head
Tomorrow might just throw me a bone
Or another bad check and a busted phone
But I'll hitch a ride, raise a glass to pain
'Cause I've been here before
And I'll be back again
Yeah, I'm broke again
