The date on my last penny Is the last year I got any And I sure didn't get that many I'm just about out Nine cents on your dime Nine heart aches since my last good time Nine minutes before I turn to crime I'm just about out I know you might laugh when you hear this And I don't want sympathy But my heart and my pockets are empty And that out about says it for me
I spent one cent less than I had I'm so lonely I might go mad How the hell did it get this bad I'm just about out I know you might laugh when you hear this And I don't want sympathy But my heart and my pockets are empty And that out about says it for me I ain't counting my penny wrong I ain't had no love in so long My life is one sad blues song I'm just about out
