Merle Haggard — Skid Row

[Verse] Well, not long ago, I was a happy man Money in my pockets with a ring on my hands My money's all gone and I'm feeling low Standing on the corner of Skid Row [Verse] My girlfriend left me, she don't want me no more We had a great big fight just a night before She said I got no class because she knows I've been hanging around on Skid Row [Chorus] Well people walk by and they stop and stare They giggle and they snicker at the clothes I wear It's just another day like it always goes When you're hanging around on Skid Row [Verse] I got an old John Beam with a Van Moore crew Got a great big hole in the bottom of my shoe My wine's all gone and I need some more Standing on the corner of Skid Row [Chorus] Well people walk by and they stop and stare They giggle and they snicker at the clothes I wear It's just another day like it always goes When you're hanging around on Skid Row One more time!
