Cold As Usual Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You sure miss the water when the well runs dry
You sure miss the things that you can't afford to buy
I gotta go to work to make some bread
So the little kids won't go hungry to bed

[Chorus]
'Cause the spring has sprung
Fall has fell, winter's here and it's cold as usual

[Verse 2]
The Goodwill people tryin' to find me a job
But it seems like I'm just one of the mob
The shoes the kids wore on their feet
They done wore 'em out on the cold, cold street

[Chorus]
'Cause spring has sprung
Fall has fell, winter's here and it's cold as usual

[Verse 3]
I brought home a chicken and they picked it clean
'Cause it's the first chicken they ever seen
The insurance salesman don't know why
When I say "Man, I can't afford to die"

[Chorus]
Yup, spring has sprung
Fall has fell, winter's here and it's cold as usual

[Verse 4]
All the bill collectors bugging me
Don't know 'em all most down [?] well let's see
When I die and they put me in the ground
They'll have to put on my stone "The poorest man in town"

[Chorus]
Yup, spring has sprung
Fall has fell, winter's here and it's cold as usual
