The Poor House Lyrics

Reno’s sparkling ahead honey I thought I’d give you a call.

I’m looking for tomorrow to be sunny in the midst of this snowfall.

I let you and kids down for way too long now,

I’m hoping to turn our life around if I can just figure out how.

I’m working on a plan to save our home

Keep us outta the poor house, pay off those loans

I’m working on a plan to save our home

Keep us outta the poor house, and I won’t do it stoned.

I’ll sit with the grannies at the nickel machines

and pull handles til my hands are blue

I’ll do just about anything to bring a future home to you

I put down the Pales and liquor

You know I tried to keep a job

I just think this’d be quicker

If I could win a little off the mob

I’m working on a plan to save our home

Keep us outta the poor house, pay off those loans

I’m working on a plan to save our home

Keep us outta the poor house, now that I’m not stoned.

Well my plan didn’t work exactly honey, but I do have a little good news:

I’m not bringing home any money, but I didn’t turn back the booze.

I guess it’s back to the drawing board, ideas are starting to brew

I’m bringing back all I can afford and that’s love to the kids and you.

I’m working on a plan to save our home

Keep us outta the poor house, pay off those loans

I’m working on a plan to save our home

Keep us outta the poor house, and build a house of stone.
