I should know to leave them home. They follow me through the store
with these toys I can`t afford. `Kids, take them back, you know better than
that.` Dolls that talk, astronauts, T.V. games, airplanes, they don`t
understand and how can I explain? I try and try but I can`t save. Pennies,
nickels, dollars slip away. I`ve tried and tried but I can`t save.
My youngest girl has bad fever, sure. All night with alcohol to cool
and rub her down. Ruby, I`m tired, try and get some sleep. I`m adding
doctor`s fees to remedies with the cost of three day`s work lost. I try and try
but I can`t save. Pennies, nickels, dollars slip away. I`ve tried and
tried but I can`t save. The hole in my pocketbook is growing.
There`s a new wind blowing they say, it`s gonna be a cold, cold one.
So brace yourselves my darlings, it won`t bring anything much our way but
more dust bowl days.
I played a card in this weeks game. Took the first and the last
letters in three of their names. This lottery`s been building up for weeks. I
could be lucky me with the five million prize, tears of disbelief spilling out
of my eyes. I try and try but I can`t save. Pennies, nickels, dollars slip
away. I`ve tried and tried but I can`t save. The hole in my pocketbook is
growing. There`s a new wind blowing they say, it`s gonna be a cold, cold one.
So brace yourselves my darlings, it won`t bring anything much our way but
more dust bowl days Send " Dust Bowl" Ringtone to your Cell
