lyrics

Love and Poverty
Written by Christopher Windsor and Diesel Junkies

Jacky-Boy sitting down by the docks, he's got a
Heart filled with gold and a head full of rocks,
And he met a girl, he'll be marrying her some day
Times are tough, and working is down
Nobody's keeping warm in this here town
So he got a gun, he'll be marrying her someday

Everybody knows you can settle all your woes
With a cold blue steel, when it's trigger you can feel you better
Have some luck before you pull that pin
Because there's no getting out once you're done getting in.

Two years out, three lives in
Nobody's keeping count when you're betting on sin
But ol' Jacky knows, that he'll be marrying her someday
He pulls the gun from under his coat
He puts the muzzle to the back of his throat
And he, kisses it softly
Puts himself away

Everybody knows you can settle all your woes
With a cold blue steel, when it's trigger you can feel you better
Have some luck before you pull that pin
Because there's no getting out once you're done getting in.
