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 all right with letting nice things go

Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me

Gold and metal flowers dangling

And I almost cried as I sold them off

And 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, 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, oh no, oh no

I can't 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 all right with letting nice things go
