Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lost my job down at the factory,
Bossman said, "Boy, you just ain't what we need."
Now I'm punchin' holes in a whiskey glass,
Tryin' to drown out the pain of my past.
[Chorus]
Lost my job, lost my home,
Lost my girl, now I'm all alone.
Just a drifter on these city streets,
Drownin' my sorrows in cheap whiskey neat.
[Verse 2]
Landlord came knockin' at my door,
Said, "Son, you can't stay here anymore."
Packed up my troubles in a worn-out sack,
Hit the road with no lookin' back.
[Bridge]
I light up a joint to ease my mind,
But it only brings back memories unkind.
Every puff just makes me feel more lost,
In this world where I'm payin' the cost.
[Verse 3]
She said she'd stand by me through thick and thin,
But when times got tough, she packed it in.
Now I'm just a man with a broken heart,
Livin' on the streets, tryin' to make a fresh start.
[Chorus]
Lost my job, lost my home,
Lost my girl, now I'm all alone.
Just a drifter on these city streets,
Drownin' my sorrows in cheap whiskey neat.
[Outro]
So I'll keep on walkin' with nowhere to go,
Just a tumbleweed in this wind that blows.
Lost it all, ain't got nothin' left to lose.
[Verse]
Lost my job down at the factory
Bossman said
Boy
You just ain't what we need
Now I'm punchin' holes in a whiskey glass
Tryin' to drown out the pain of my past
[Verse 2]
Landlord came knockin' at my door
Said
Son
You can't stay here anymore
Packed up my troubles in a worn-out sack
Hit the road with no lookin' back
[Chorus]
Lost my job
Lost my home
Lost my girl
Now I'm all alone
Just a drifter on these city streets
Drownin' my sorrows in cheap whiskey neat
