You sure miss the water
when the well runs dry
You sure miss the things
that you can't afford to buy
I gotta go to work to make some bread
So the little kids won't
go hungry to bed
Cause the spring has sprung,
fall has fell
Winter is here and it's cold
as usual
Goodwill people trying to find me a job
But it seems like I'm just
one of them mob
The shoes the kids wore on their feet
They done wore them out on the cold,
cold street
Cause spring has sprung, fall has fell
Winter's here and it's cold as usual
I brought home a chicken
and they picked him clean
Cause it's the first chicken
they ever seen
The insurance salesman
don't know why
When I say, man, I can't af ford to die
Yup, spring has sprung, fall has fell,
winter is here and it's cold as usual.
All the bill collectors buggin' me,
don't know I'm almost down to, well let's see.
When I die and they put me
in the ground
They'll have to put on my stone,
the poorest man in town
Yeah, spring has sprung,
fall has failed
Winter's here and it's cold as usual
you
