Worn Out Suits, Brand New Pockets Lyrics

Dave Edmunds Worn Out Suits, Brand New Pockets

They say money is the root of all evil
But if that's so they should make a saint of me
Cos whenever things look up
I can depend on my bad luck
And I'll be wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets

They say a fool and his money are soon parted
And I can safely say I'm living proof of that
In one pain and out the other
I lose more than I recover
And I'm wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets

If I make more than a dime
I know I'll lose it back in time
Leaving me right back where I started
If my name was Rockefeller
Yes I'd still lose every dollar
And I'd be wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets

If I make more than a dime
I know I'll lose it back in time
Leaving me right back where I started
If my name was Rockefeller
Yes I'd still lose every dollar
I'd be wearing worn out suits with brand new pockets
