lyrics

A man from TV and now he is president
The bible belt thinks he is heaven sent
Because he made lots of money he gonna take all our troubles away
By the sound of that my troubles are here to stay

it ain't nothing new
it's more of the same
Ain't no poor man can play that game
Stand on the corner protest and shout
Hoping one day someone figures it out
But nothing from nothing don't leave nothing no more
Ain't no money in peace like there is in a war

Cause I ain't got a dollar no I ain't got a dime
I cant get no smoke I cant get no wine
I'm just stand here where I'm at
Wait for someone to throw a few bucks in my hat

I was too young to drink but old enough to vote
When they sent me cross the ocean on a big ole boat
Had me fighting for freedom in an endless war
Then they bring me back and home ain't home no more

Cause I ain't got a dollar no I ain't got a dime
I cant get no smoke I cant get no wine
I'm just going to stand here where I'm at
Wait for something good to fall in my lap

I got me a women she’s a sweet little soul
She can play that piano just like jelly roll
gives me shade in the summer keeps me warm in the winter time
Sweet little women treating me so kind

I may be lazy I may be slow
But I ain’t in a hurry I got nowhere to go
There is place I need to see
Just get home in time to get some sugar from my honey bee

Cause I ain't got a dollar no I ain't got a dime
I cant get no smoke I cant get no wine
I'm just keep walking where I’m at
When I m gone that it no more I wouldn't be back

Rodney Rice

Rodney Rice knows just how to capture the fleeting glimmers of an emotional moment in life and turn them into songs that evoke our own feelings of despair and hope, loss and love. Rice delivers his lyrics with a knowing nod and wink and a twinkle of the eye to the difficulties we encounter in our daily lives, and creates memorable characters in his songs whose foibles remind us of folks we know. ... more
