The Golden Dregs - Hope Is for the Hopeless

Nobody Ever Got Rich (By Making People Sad)

Loose loose end
Tattered in pieces I know
Needles and threads won't mend
But I'm willing to give it a go

Sweet sweet heart
Such a crooked mind
And all the questions that they're asking
They're not meant to be unkind

Mother raised you well
But she never sensed
The things that you could do
The places that you went

Your father he was drunk
And almost always right
He made sure that you
Grew up too fast that night

He speaks to God
'Why'd I never got rich?"
"Hey son
You know I never got rich?
I worked all my damn life
And I never got rich"
"Hey God
Why'd I never got rich?"

Tattered in pieces I know
Tattered in pieces I know
Tattered in pieces I know
Tattered in pieces I know
Tattered in pieces I know
Tattered in pieces I know
Tattered in pieces I know

You speak to God
Nobody ever got rich
Hey Son
Nobody ever got rich
I worked all my damn life
And no, I never got rich
Hey God
Nobody ever got rich
