The poor house
(Billy Bob Thornton/J.D Andrew)
Reno is sparkling ahead, honey I thought I'd give you a call Looking for tomorrow to be sunny In the midst of this snowfall I let you and the kids down For way too long now 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 out of the poor house Pay off those loans I'm working on a plan To save our home Keep us out of the poor house And I won't do it stoned I'll sit with the grannies at the nickel machines And pull handles till my hands are blue I'll do just about anything To bring a future home to you I'll put down the pills and liquor You know I tried to keep a job I just think this'll be quicker If I can win a little of the mob I'm working on a plan To save our home Keep us out of the poor house Pay off those loans I'm working on a plan To save our home Keep us out of the poor house Now that I'm not stoned Well, my plan don'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 to 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 out of the poor house Pay off those loans I'm working on a plan To save our home Keep us out of the poor house And build a house of stone
