The Poor House

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.
