Pawn Shop Blues

Lyrics

Well, I didn't know it would come to this  
But that's what happens when you're on your own  
And you're alright letting nice things go  
  
Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me  
Gold and made of flowers dangling  
And I almost cried as I sold them all  
I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no no  
But I gotta get to and from where I come  
And it's gonna take money to go  
Oh no, oh oh, oh oh...  
  
In the name of higher consciousness  
I let the best man I knew go  
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved  
But it's better to know all you can know  
I said it's nice to love and be loved  
But I'd rather know what God knows  
Oh no, oh no, oh no...  
  
I can do this once more  
No man can keep me together  
Been broken since I was born  
  
Well, I didn't know it would come to this  
But that's what happens when you're on your own  
And you're alright letting nice things go
