Mean Town Blues Live Lyrics - Second Winter: Legacy Edition - Johnny Winter

Lord my mother she done told me and my father done told me 

My father told me too, yeah my mother she done told me 

And my father done told me, my father told me too, it's a mean old town to live in by yourself 

Yeah, work for a dollar or several thousand, could not save a dime 

You know I worked for a dollar, or several thousand, man couldn't save a dime 

Ain't nobody worried and there isn't nobody's crying 

Yeah, I got my hands outside to get a hold on, try to get some of my cash 

Lord I try to get my hands outside to get a hold on, try to get some of my cash 

It's those great big smiles to keep us out of that trash

So I packed up my suitcase and I move on down, hit that lonesome road 

You know I packed up my suitcase and I hit that lonesome, move on down 

I'm still crying to make it when the day was done
