Flat broke and busted, it just don?t seem fair
The Man in Heaven, don't hear my prayer
And these dice are loaded, and I still can?t win
Flat broke and busted, crapped out again

Maybe tomorrow, I'll see the light
And I'll know the difference, tween wrong and right
My ship is out there, but it can't come in
Flat broke and busted, crapped out again

refrain

And now I'm hangin on tight, to the end of my rope
Somebody call me a preacher, yeah, let's call the Pope
Just the flip of a coin, the turn of a card
I'll be back up on top, damn, I'll be livin? large

instrumental break blues harp 4 bars
My ship is out there, but it can?t come in
Flat broke and busted, all crapped out, crapped out again
