Asleep at the Wheel - Hang up My Spurs

Ain't Got Nothing but the Blues

Ain't got the change for a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes
Ain't got no fancy footwork no more
I ain't got nothing but the blues

Ain't got no coffee brewing
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Don't have a dream that is working no more
I ain't got nothing but the blues

The band is swinging
The folks are singing
I just can't let my hair down
Believe me, Pruitt
There ain't nothing to it
Since my little baby, she done left this town

Ain't got no rest in my sleep
I don't have no winnings to lose
Ain't got no telephone number no more
I ain't got nothing but the blues

Play the blues

Ain't got no tar for my pickup truck
Ain't got no soles on my shoes
Ain't got no date for the Saturday night
I ain't got nothing but the blues

Ain't got no horse for my saddle
Ain't got no spurs for my boots
Ain't got no reins to hold on to no more
I ain't got nothing but the blues

The band is stomping
Man, they're really romping
I'm sittin' all by my self
Believe me, Bridget
I just can't get with it
Since my little darling put me back on the shell

I ain't got no cash in my pocket
Ain't got my name in who's who
So broke, I can't pay attention no more
I ain't got nothing
I ain't got nothing
I ain't got nothing but the blues, oh Lord (ha-ha)
