You just can’t trust them pretty girls, they’re only here to wreck your world
And make sure you never get to sleep at night
I don’t know the reasons why, they all wanna hang you out to dry
You ain’t got strength enough left to fight

Oh, but I'm, I’m in trouble
Like I know, you’re bound to get in trouble too
And I know that it won’t be long
Before the man you love is loving someone new

I walked up to the river bridge and stood myself up on the ledge
And screamed out to everyone, “Let me be”
I got me a worried mind, gonna find me a worried kind
Of girl, who’s lonesome just like me

And I know, I’m just one of your poor boys
That you swore, you’d never leave behind
And I see, I can see right through you
And I know, you’re not my kind

Now all my money’s gone to someplace that it don’t belong
I’m singing the 'Broken-down-poorboy blues'
I ain’t got nothing to my name but nothing is my favorite game
To play 'cause there’s never anything to lose

And I know that I’m in trouble
Like I know, you’re bound to get in trouble too
And I know that it won’t be long
Before the man you love is loving someone new
