Boxmasters - The Poor House Lyrics
Reno's sparkling ahead honey I thought I'd give you a call
I'm looking for tomorrow to be sunny in the midst of this snowfall
I let you and kids down for way too long now
I'm hoping to turn our life around if I can just figure out how
I'm working on a plan to save our home
Keep us outta the poor house, pay off those loans
I'm working on a plan to save our home
Keep us outta the poor house, and I won't do it stoned
I'll sit with the grannies at the nickel machines
And pull handles til my hands are blue
I'll do just about anything to bring a future home to you
I put down the Pales and liquor
You know I tried to keep a job
I just think this'd be quicker
If I could win a little off the mob
I'm working on a plan to save our home
Keep us outta the poor house, pay off those loans
I'm working on a plan to save our home
Keep us outta the poor house, now that I'm not stoned
Well my plan didn't work exactly honey, but I do have a little good news
I'm not bringing home any money, but I didn't turn back the booze
I guess it's back to the drawing board, ideas are starting to brew
I'm bringing back all I can afford and that's love to the kids and you
I'm working on a plan to save our home
Keep us outta the poor house, pay off those loans
I'm working on a plan to save our home
Keep us outta the poor house, and build a house of stone
