Prosperity Blues

I used to only know, tears in my eyes
 And I could never see, the sun in the sky
 I lived so long, with a thorn in my side
 And I got so used to being, unsatisfied
 Now I'm happy, just sittin' round the house
 My bills are paid, and my checks don't bounce
 I can't even, crack a frown
 Since the blues slipped out of town
 I used to work my, little fingers down to the bone
 And my baby was asleep, by the time I got home
 I couldn't go nowhere, cause my engine was blown
 The operator used to always, turn off my phone
 And now my bill collectors, they don't never come around
 My car is runnin', and it don't break down
 I can't even crack a frown
 Since the blues slipped out of town
 My baby left me, but she came right back
 When I gave her the keys, to that brand new Cadillac
 I can't even crack a frown
 Since the blues slipped out of town
 I ain't never been so down
