Prosperity Blues Songtext
von Keb’ Mo’

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

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
