I Used to Make a Living

Deluxe 07

When I used to play the blues
They paid me money
Now they pass the tip jar
And it's good luck honey
I used to make a living
Yes I used to make a living
I used to make a living
I don't make no living now

I played a little zydeco
The people danced so free
Now the only thing that loose
Is the change they're paying me
I used to make a living
Yes I used to make a living
I used to make a living
I don't make no living now

(chorus)
Day after day it's a grind
All my bills are way behind
I'd like to hold my head up in this town
But everything is upside down

I used to sell some CD's
Cassettes or an LP
Now with all this downloading
I guess my music's free
I used to make a living
Yes I used to make a living
I used to make a living
I don't make no living now

I used to pack my bags
Head out on the road
With the price of gas these days
You know I'm staying home
I used to make a living
Yes I used to make a living
I used to make a living
I don't make no living now

I take a lot of pride
In my craft and trade
Now I'm selling RV's
And it's 103 in the shade
I used to make a living
Yes I used to make a living
I used to make a living
I don't make no living now
