Bouncy shuffle in the key of A

No cash, no credit
Dealt a hand, can't bet it
Left me cold and stranded
Then she wrote bad checks
So now I'm branded, at every turn, more and mmore bad news

This must be like, nothin left to lose
Nights and days got dem empty bottle blues
This must be like, nothin left to lose

Changed all my locks, she changed my luck
Dealt this hand, bank took my truck
I'm late now on some bills, and dues

This must be like, nothin left to lose
Nights and days got dem empty bottle blues
This must be like, nothin left to lose

Said she loved me, too good to be true
Finally right bout somethin
I'm like that branch before the bird flew
Hungover all Sunday, try forgetin Monday
She got nice nails, but she got loose screws

This must be like, nothin left to lose
Nights and days got dem empty bottle blues
This must be like, nothin left to lose
Nights and days got dem empty bottle blues
