Black Tooth Blues

Today, I don't even feel like tryin'
Don't see no point in even cryin'
My mama told me so,
you don't know what you don't know
and today I don't even feel like tryin'

 

I ain't got a quarter for a taste of wine,
I ain't got a nickel for the phone
If I had a dollar
I'd find a girl and ball her
but today I don't even feel like tryin

 

You ever drink alone by the trains?
Ain't it evil how whiskey eases pain?
lay my dirty head down on that sorry track.
You ever drink alone by the trains?

 

I ain't got a quarter for a taste of wine,
I ain't got a nickel for the phone
If I had a dollar
I'd find a girl and ball her
but today I don't even feel like tryin

 

I feel like a black tooth on the floor
so god damn tired of being poor.
If that's my mama at the door
tell her I don't know no more,
and bury this black tooth on the floor

 

Tell I never had a quarter for a taste of wine,
I never had a nickel for that phone.
If I had a dollar, I'd get on the bus and find her,
but today I did not feel like tryin
