The Great Depression

The Great Depression
words and music by Andy Campolieto

If I had a dime to my name
Then I guess I'd have somethin' to lose
Like all these suits and ties
I read about in the news
They say the money's all gone
Nothin' like it since '29
But I'm broke as a Ford
So I guess I'm doin' just fine

CHORUS
This Great Depression means nothin' to me
Let Wall St. crumble
Let Main St. whistle with tumbleweed
Give me a long-haired girl and a bottle of wine
We can sit on the roof and get drunk all night
And watch the world come tumbling down
As the sun comes up

Well, I worked hard all my life
But I could never make enough to save
This old 6-string's all that I've got to my name
If I had a big fat wallet full of big green bills
I'd buy me a bungalow in the hills
But I'm broke as a seal
So I guess I'm doin' just fine

CHORUS

Please don't misunderstand
I never meant for it to be this way
There ain't nothin' I love more than the USA
But I'd be lying if I said
I gave a damn about the government
'Cause I'm broke as a heart
And I guess I'm doin' all right

CHORUS
