Greg Brown - Cronies lyrics

I'd be a dead man hanging around, If it weren't for my pals in this town. C-ron-c-ron-c-ron-c-ron-c-ron-cronies. I'd wouldn't go down to the joint, There'd be no pleasure, there'd be no point, Without c-ron-c-ron-c-ron-c-ron-c-ron-cronies. [first chorus:] And if I ain't got no money- If I aint' got a thing, they think that that's funny. I know they'll put up with me, for awhile. They see me comin' down the street, lookin' real beat- It's like seein' themselves and it makes 'em smile. See each other play in the little bars- Sit around the campfire under the stars. C-ron-c-ron-c-ron-c-ron-c-ron-cronies. Can you recover, are you feeling allright? Where's the party gonna be tonight? C-ron-c-ron-c-ron-c-ron-c-ron-cronies. [second chorus:] Yeah, and if they ain't got no money- If they ain't got a thing, they think that that's funny. They know I'll put up with them, for awhile. I see 'em comin' down the street, lookin' real beat- It's like seein' myself and it makes me smile. One oughta get married, and one has twice- Niether wants to listen to my advice. C-ron-c-ron-c-ron-c-ron-c-ron-cronies. Out in the sunshine I see them spralled. When I leave this town I'm gonna miss them all. C-ron-c-ron-c-ron-c-ron-c-ron-cronies. [repeat second chorus]
