If Trouble Was Money - Charlie Musselwhite

If trouble was money, baby, I would be a millionaire

If words was dollars, I could buy the world and have money to spend

But if there’s any one thing, don’t waste another

Right now I’m so poor that I just don’t care

I tried too hard to make it, people, sometimes I just can’t get ahead

Looks like everything goes wrong, people, I remember what my mother she said

«Every time I get my hand on a dollar

Seems like the man wanna hit me up for my bread»

I know my life has been bad, it’s been bad all of my life

I know my life has been bad, looks like it’s been bad all of my life

Seems like I get the third degree

All the way from my enemies an 'right down to my wife
