(by otis rush)

Lay awake at night,
Oh so low, just so troubled.
Can't get a job,
Laid off and i'm having double trouble.

Hey hey, to make you've got to try.
Baby, that's no lie.
Some of this generation is millionaires;
I can't even keep decent clothes to wear.

Laugh at me walking,
And i have no place to go.
Bad luck and trouble has taken me;
I have no money to show.

Chorus
