Stores are open but I ain’t got no money I ain’t got no money, well I ain’t got no money Stores are open but I ain’t got no money Well I ain’t got no money, well I ain’t Found an old dog and he seems to like me Seems to like me, well, he seems to like me Found an old dog and he seems to like me Well he seems to like me, well he seems Seen them fellows with the cardboard signs Scrapin’ up a little money to buy a bottle of wine Pregnant women and the Vietnam vets I say beggin’ on the freeway ‘bout as hard as it gets Well I slept in the graveyard, it was cool and still Cool and still, it was cool and still Slept in the graveyard, it was cool and still Cool and still and it was cool Slept all night in a Cedar grove I was born to ramble, born to rove Some men are searchin’ for the Holy Grail But there ain’t nothin’ sweeter than ridin’ the rails I look fortyseven but I’m twentyfour Well they shooed me away from here the time before Turned their backs and they locked their doors I’m watchin’ TV in the window of a furniture store And I woke up this morning with the cold water With the cold water, with the cold water I woke up this morning with the cold water With the cold water, with the cold Well I woke up this morning with the cold water Cold water, with the cold water Woke up this morning with the cold water Cold water, with the cold Words and music by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan ©1999 Jalma Music (ASCAP)
