lyrics

Last Penny in my Pocket

Went down to Mexico, suitcase in my hand
Some people look at me but they don’t understand
I need to get away
Got to get the hell away from here
Suitcase in my hand,
Battling the man

Got into Mexico, about quarter to six
Saw a junky, looking for a fix
I said “don’t do it son, don’t you do it”
And he said to me
“Got a needle in my pocket,
Gun in my hand”

Booked into a motel, took off my shoes
Last penny in my pocket
Well I reckon, I reckon I got the blues
When you walk the tough line
You’re bound to meet the blues
Last penny in my pocket,
Blood on my shoes

Well last penny in my pocket
I reckon I got the blues
