Cain’t afford smokes
Cain’t afford booze
Cain’t afford gas
Cain’t afford shues
I think I got the thrift sto’ shue blues
I broke up with my man
he was the cheatin’ kind
moved out on my own
now I’m nothin’ but broke
All my money went here...........
............all my money went there
he was the cheatin’ kind
moved out on my own
now I’m nothin’ but broke
All my money went here...........
............all my money went there
the next thing I know
ain’t got no money nowhere
ain’t got no money nowhere
Went to walk in the rain
felt my feet get all wet
looked down at my shue
saw a hole in my sole
felt my feet get all wet
looked down at my shue
saw a hole in my sole
Went to the local Thrift Sto'
saw some cute tennie shues
slipped my foot right on in
they were the perfect fit
saw some cute tennie shues
slipped my foot right on in
they were the perfect fit
Took my shues to the man
he said they’re a dolla ninety-nine
said com’on Mister PLEASE!
make then one twenty-nine
He said there’s no way in hell
I can drop down that price
you’re outta luck pretty lady
he said they’re a dolla ninety-nine
said com’on Mister PLEASE!
make then one twenty-nine
He said there’s no way in hell
I can drop down that price
you’re outta luck pretty lady
but you sho' look real nice
So I picked up my pride
took my one twenty-nine
walked out the door
as the sun began to shine
Can’t afford smokes
can’t afford booze
can’t afford gas
can’t afford shues
I know I got the thrift sto’ shue blues
So I picked up my pride
took my one twenty-nine
walked out the door
as the sun began to shine
One thing I’ve learned
and I’m happy to report
ain’t with no cheatin’ man
though I may be plum broke
and I’m happy to report
ain’t with no cheatin’ man
though I may be plum broke
Can’t afford smokes
can’t afford booze
can’t afford gas
can’t afford shues
