Prosperity Blues Lyrics

I used to only know, tears in my eyes
And I could never see, the sun in the sky
I lived so long, with a thorn in my side
And I got so used to being, unsatisfied

Now I'm happy, just sittin' round the house
My bills are paid, and my checks don't bounce
I can't even, crack a frown
Since the blues slipped out of town

I used to work my, little fingers down to the bone
And my baby was asleep, by the time I got home
I couldn't go nowhere, cause my engine was blown
The operator used to always, turn off my phone Keb' Mo' - Prosperity Blues - http://motolyrics.com/keb-mo/prosperity-blues-lyrics.html

And now my bill collectors, they don't never come around
My car is runnin', and it don't break down
I can't even crack a frown
Since the blues slipped out of town

My baby left me, but she came right back
When I gave her the keys, to that brand new Cadillac
I can't even crack a frown
Since the blues slipped out of town

I ain't never been so down
Since the blues slipped out of town
