Kissing Someone Else's Ring
Life should be simple but it's not that kind
Seems I'm always runnin' a little behind
Pay for this and borrow that
Nothin's left me for when I pass around the hat
It's no use money's like water
Flowing like a river south of my border
I never seem to know what tomorrow will bring
But I always end up kissing someone else's ring
Kissing somebody else's ring
Always a pauper and never a king
Prayin' someday that this will pass
And all the kings and queens can kiss my ass
Everybody's hand is pickin' my pocket
Each time they reach in I can't seem to block it
In every direction I get pushed and pulled
Always running with the bear and never the bulls
It ain't no fun bein' this broke
But I see a lot you are in the same boat
Nobody wants to trade places with me
Cause the bottom of the heap ain't no place to be
Kissing somebody else's ring
Always a pauper and never a king
Prayin' someday that this will pass
And all the kings and queens can kiss my ass
I just go on doin' the best I can
Skimmin' by time and again
And when it's all over, and I fade away
Throw my ashes to the wind and call it a day
Kissing somebody else's ring
Always a pauper and never a king
Prayin' someday that this will pass
And all the kings and queens can kiss my ass
Seems I'm always runnin' a little behind
Pay for this and borrow that
Nothin's left me for when I pass around the hat
It's no use money's like water
Flowing like a river south of my border
I never seem to know what tomorrow will bring
But I always end up kissing someone else's ring
Kissing somebody else's ring
Always a pauper and never a king
Prayin' someday that this will pass
And all the kings and queens can kiss my ass
Everybody's hand is pickin' my pocket
Each time they reach in I can't seem to block it
In every direction I get pushed and pulled
Always running with the bear and never the bulls
It ain't no fun bein' this broke
But I see a lot you are in the same boat
Nobody wants to trade places with me
Cause the bottom of the heap ain't no place to be
Kissing somebody else's ring
Always a pauper and never a king
Prayin' someday that this will pass
And all the kings and queens can kiss my ass
I just go on doin' the best I can
Skimmin' by time and again
And when it's all over, and I fade away
Throw my ashes to the wind and call it a day
Kissing somebody else's ring
Always a pauper and never a king
Prayin' someday that this will pass
And all the kings and queens can kiss my ass
