One, two, a-one, two, three, four
I wish I had me a dollar, I wish had a lousy dime
I get on board that greyhound bus and go back to that home of mine
Instead, I'm stuck here in Frisco with this old lonesome heart
It's pretty hard to go somewhere when you got no way to start
When you got no, got no, got no way to start
And wish I had my old guitar, I wish I had some brand-new strings
I'd play an old ragtime shuffle, and my baby would dance and sing
Forget about the hard times, sing about something brand new
Sing about the time that's coming when I got no rainbow and blues
When you got no, got no, got no rainbow and blues
Yes you know there's some good times coming
Yes you know there's some good times coming
I can feel those good times coming
I can feel them on the wind
And I wish I had me a bottle that I got down at the corner joint
I'd go walking by the railroad tracks
'Til I finally figure out the whole point
The point of all this working and working for no pay
Look out on the world my friend, well, there's gotta be a better way
Yeah, there's gotta be, gotta be, gotta be a better way
Yes you know there's some good times coming
Yes you know there's some good times coming
I can feel them on the way
Feel them coming back to me again
And I wish I had a dollar, I wish I had a lousy dime
I'd get on board a greyhound bus, and go back to that home of mine
Instead, I'm stuck here in Frisco with this old lonesome heart
Oh yes, you know it's true when you got no way to start
When you got no, got no, got no way to start
