This up-tempo bottleneck Blues is played on a self-made resophonic junk/art guitar. The recording is a single-take "live" mono capture via an iPhone and edited to a stereo file.
With the economy being plagued by gougers, wage stagnation, supply-chain issues, and change being held hostage by gop obstructionists, the vast majority of Americans suffer from too little money and not enough time. The national minimum wage of $7.25 an hour has forced more and more workers to take second jobs in order to survive, leaving workers with too little money or not enough time. A national minimum wage increase is desperately needed.
Too Little Money, Not Enough Time
2022 Reggie Miles
Too little money not enough time
I can't seem to balance this crazy rhyme
When I'm rich in one I'm poor in the other
That's the story of my life I'm a tellin' you brother
Too little money not enough time
Too little money not enough time
I work hard t’ make my way
It keeps me busy every day
Don't do much when I get home
Just try to rest my weary bone
But when my work’s in short supply
I often sit and wonder why
Don’t mind the extra time on my hands
But without any money I can’t make plans
Too little money not enough time
Can't seem to balance this crazy rhyme
When I'm rich in one I'm poor in the other
That's the story of my life I'm a tellin' you brother
Too little money not enough time
Too little money not enough time
Too little time and not enough money
I know this rhyme may sound kind o’ funny
But when you’re stuck with one or the other
You ain’t goin’ nowhere brother
Too little time not enough money
Too little money not enough time
Just like spinnin’ wheels caught in a mire
I can’t move ahead to my desire
So I can balance this crazy rhyme
Of too little money, not enough time
Too little money, not enough time
I can't seem to balance this crazy rhyme
When I'm rich in one I'm poor in the other
That's the story of my life I'm a tellin' you brother
Too little money, not enough time
Too little money, not enough time
So, I patiently wait for a change in the tide
A good samaritan to offer a ride
So I can balance this crazy rhyme
Of too little money, not enough time
Too little money, not enough time
I can't seem to balance this crazy rhyme
When I'm rich in one I'm poor in the other
That's the story of my life I'm a tellin' you brother
Too little money, not enough time
Too little money, not enough time
Too little money, not enough
