[4/4, slow & sleazy quasi-blues]
EATIN' CORNFLAKES FROM A HUBCAP BLUES (2005)
–J. Wrabek
1.
C G
I got dust bunnies playin' on the kitchen floor,
C F
Remindin' me you ain't around no more,
C G
And the rain keeps fallin' through the holes I shot in the roof;
C
When they came for the teevee and the stereo,
F
I asked them to take me, too, but they said "no";
C G C
I got the sittin' by the roadside, eatin' cornflakes from a hubcap blues.
CHORUS:
C G
I'm broke... Truck's broke...
C F
No smokes... And no clean clothes,
C G
And ev'ry dirty dish reminds me of you...
C G
Beer's gone... Life's shot...
C F
You're gone... And I've got
C G C
The sittin' by the roadside, eatin' cornflakes from a hubcap blues.
2.
I'd catch up on my readin' if the lights were on,
But the bill ain't been paid since you been gone
[SPOKEN] See? There's other people ‘sides me that's been missin' you;
The dog ate all the food, so I ate the dog,
And now there's no one to listen to me when I talk;
I got the sittin' by the roadside, eatin' cornflakes from a hubcap blues.
CHORUS:
I'm broke... Truck's broke...
No smokes... And no clean clothes,
And ev'ry dirty dish reminds me of you...
Beer's gone... Life's shot...
You're gone... And I've got
The sittin' by the roadside, eatin' cornflakes from a hubcap blues.
3.
Well, I advertised ev'rywhere I could,
But I didn't find anybody near as good
Y'ought t' feel proud–no one c'n do the things you do;
If you came back crawlin', I'd take you in,
But you better hurry up, ‘cause I'm gettin' thin;
I got the sittin' by the roadside, eatin' cornflakes from a hubcap blues.
CHORUS:
I'm broke... Truck's broke...
No smokes... And no clean clothes,
And ev'ry dirty dish reminds me of you...
Beer's gone... Life's shot...
You're gone... And I've got
The sittin' by the roadside, eatin' cornflakes from a hubcap blues.
REPEAT LAST LINE OF CHORUS TO END
