Lyrics

I got plenty to eat last night, can I get a witness?
Shoe leather steak, rock hard biscuit
Taste real fine, you put some gravy with it, oh yes.

You want some? Be my guest….

I got a thirst way down in my soul, can I get a witness?
Not sure how, just how I’m gonna fix it?
got one idea, might be just the ticket, Oh Yes.

Tryin to stay in the thick of it.

I broke the bank on the best meal in town
now I aint got nothin, ….to wash it down

I need a dollar for liquor, so I can get myself right
I need a dollar for liquor, so I can get myself right
Playin, singin , all night long
If you get it for a song, you cant go wrong
I think I will, I think I might
Do myself a little drinkin, a little drinkin tonight


I found a good place to sleep last night, can I get a witness?
My coat for a pillow, cardboard mattress,
I’m out of the rain, I got good dry matches, Oh yes.

Good things come in patches.

Last night good lovin, she came around, can I get a witness
It was gonna last forever, it was gonna be just right
And how it was, was how it was, for just one night

We was doin everything in sight.

She was like a song, one that makes you cry
Now shes makin music with some other guy

I need a dollar for liquor, so I can get myself right
I need a dollar for liquor, so I can get myself right
One day she’s here, next she’s gone
now I need a little something, just to carry on
I think I will, I think I might, do myself a little drinkin tonight.
You wont get to be my friend any quicker,
than when you give me a dollar….
A dollar for liquor
