Bones Owens - For Keeps Lyrics

My money's gone
As soon as I get it
It's like I never had it at all I asked the man
He told me your problem
Is you've been goin bout it wrong

Well there ain't no relief
When you're down on your knees
If you want a hand up, you gotta stand up
And start playin for keeps

I bust my knuckles
Down at the station
And I swung a hammer for a while
But I never was too much
For the waiting
Couldn't seem to stay in single file

Well there ain't no relief
When you're down on your knees
If you want a hand up, you gotta stand up
And start playin for keeps

Well there ain't no relief
When you're down on your knees
If you want a hand up, you gotta stand up
And start playin for keeps"
