Life And Debt

(album: New Freedom Blues - 2018)

Life and debt
Two things that seem to get along
Can't get from under it
Just keeps adding to the loan
If you find yourself up a creek with no paddle
Just remember that life and debt always in constant battle

Piles and piles and miles of cash
Couldn't get me back to where I once was at
Standing in the red looking at the black
It's a doggone shame when you lose your stack
It's a crying shame you won't get it back

Life and debt
Two things that seem to get along
Can't get from under it
Just keeps adding to the loan
If you find yourself up a creek with no paddle
Just remember that life and debt always in constant battle

Well I went to the man to advance my line
Said "A hundred in cash to get me through a hard time"
Oh the banker, he looked and he shook his head
Said "The bank's broke too, ain't got no bread
"All the money's in the politicians' hands"

Life and debt
Two things that seem to get along
Can't get from under it
Just keeps adding to the loan
If you find yourself up a creek with no paddle
Just remember that life and debt always in constant battle
Just remember that life and debt always in constant battle
Life and debt
