Lyrics

Well I'm standin' on the corner with my nickle and a key
Waitin' on someone to go along with me
'Cause I'm tryin' to make a living
Yeah, I'm tryin' to make a living
Tryin' to make a living, best thing I can do
I wanna pawn my coat, pawn my shoe
Pawn these clothes that have never been used
Pawn my whites, pawn my ring
Tryin' to tell you people, don't pawn everything
I'm tryin' to make a living, yeah, I'm tryin' to make a living
Tryin' to make a living, best thing I can do, yeah
I wanna pawn my coat, pawn my shoe
Pawn these clothes that have never been used
Pawn my whites, pawn my ring
Tryin' to tell you people, don't pawn everything
I'm tryin' to make a living, yeah, I'm tryin' to make a living
Tryin' to make a living, best thing I can do, yeah
I'm tryin' to make a living, yeah, I'm tryin' to make a living
Tryin' to make a living, yeah, I'm tryin' to make a living
I'm tryin' to make a living, best thing I can do, yeah
'Cause everything I can do
