lyrics

I got thirteen cents and seven cigarettes
not a dollar more to my name.
My dog wants to bolt, he growls at my boots,
chases lies like chickens.
What's a man like me to do?
What's a man like me to do?

I got thirteen cents and six cigarettes
I ain't opposed to her leaving.
But when it comes to cleaving that kinda weepin
leave me flat down on my back.
Her summer sun clobbered the lake.
Our summer sun clobbered in mistakes.

I got thirteen cents and five cigarettes
I left my dog at the dock.
The rollers are loaded and the lake's a'quake,
Fall is always outspoken.
She's the oar that won't break.
She's the oar that don't break.

I got thirteen cents and four cigarettes
her tongue dampens the spark.
The only pencil I drawn from the flask
is the blackest of blues.
I renunciate my task.
I renunciate my task.

I got thirteen cents and three cigarettes
patched all my row boat leaks.
My dog sam across the water fast as lost dog holler.
But the lake's never let him down.
Dogs drown harder than love.
Dogs drown harder than Love.

I got thirteen cents and two cigarettes.
