All Purpose Generic Blues

My wallet is empty
My car, it broke down
Remember my girlfriend?
Well, she just moved out of town

I'm feeling sad and lonely, got those
All purpose generic blues

I'd like to get drunk,
But I can't afford no booze
Whatever I try to do these days
I always seem to lose

I'm feeling sick and tired, got those
All purpose generic blues

Been blue since I was born,
I guess it's just my fate
If my life were a poker hand
It'd be a busted straight!

No matter what I do, still got those
All purpose generic blues

Thought about suicide
To put an end to my strife
But a funeral'd be too expensive
I can't afford to end my life!
So I guess I'll go on livin' with these
All purpose generic blues
