I used to have a job,
I used to have a girl
Lotsa money,
Movin’ on up in this world
I used to love the good times
Couldn’t get enough
I can’t sleep at night now
Times are gettin’ tough
Chorus
This ain’t the life to choose
Got holes in the soles of my shoes
Sometimes you got nuthin’
Nuthin’ left to lose
Sometimes you just got the blues
V2
I got a new job
I got a new girl
Got some new money
I’m back up in the world
I still love the good times
Now that times ain’t so tough
But I ain’t sure why
I still can’t get enough
