lyrics

Ain't got no Money, Ain't got no girl
Lord how can I keep living when you've taken way my world

Ain't got a whole heart, ain't got a half
My hearts all torn to pieces and the pieces are all black

I've gotta look at the blue skies, I gotta soak in the sun
But you know that you're my blue skies and the nights already come

Bridge:
The days get harder without you around
I sure hope that I can make it somehow
The songs I write give me little relief
The sound of your soft sweet voice is what I need

Gotta keep on living, gotta give it a try
But without you it sure won't be easy; I ain't gonna lie

One Go Around
by Jeffrey Martin

supported by 4 fans who also own “No Money, No Girl”

Title track was the first I'd ever heard of Jeff's work and it struck me like a ten-ton hammer. Was a perfect fit for the small-town college I was attending at the time, not far from train tracks itself. Every time I hear this, I can see the amber light of the street lamps and think about a few walks I made around campus in the dead of night. Still haven't grabbed hold of the life I've been given as firmly as I ought to, but this song soothes my regret...and the chorus reminds me.... moonandstar8765
