Lyrics for Old Scratch Blues
Jack has said she warned you So tell how you're gonna be She's acting like she owned you, dethroned you But nothing in the world is free I think I need a tailor This happens to me all the time I'm cursin' like a drunken sailor I'll trade a nickel for a dime anytime I'll take you to the border And show you how you're gonna be free This machine is out of order, it stole my quarter And now there's nothing left to take from me A motorcycle rolling And a percentage of the profit too Another holy psycho trolling So tell me how to stop this fool Up until you figure it out You never will be able to trust me This suckers wanna twist and shout, they're fighting it out Until they find the key to leave, they will not bust me Jack has said she warned you So tell me everything you know I'm not trying to alarm you or harm you But is there something that I need to know? You're gonna find out You're gonna find out You're gonna find out, you're gonna find out Everything you need to give for free, to be a sellout Jack has said she warned you So tell me how it's gonna be She's acting it like she owned you, bethroned you But nothing in this world is free, at least not for me
