Fifteen Dollars Draw

Oh one two

Mama I guess you have stood and cursed the day i found that old guitar
When uncle harry died the one we found in the boot of his old car
I remember how my little fingers blistered when I tried to learn to play
I bet you never dreamed that old guitar would put me where i am today

Yes it's been a lot of years I guess it's been an interestin' life
No mam I never found another woman that I wanted for a wife
I guess the first time showed us that I wasn't the domesticated kind
But I don't blame her for getting tired of living from a suitcase all the time

Yes I know sometimes it looks like I've just simply thrown my life away
I just always figured that if I hung on I'd make it big some day
I guess it takes a special breed to live this way and think the way I sink
But you'll be glad to hear that anymore I ain't near as bad to drink

How is Tommy doing with the business now that daddy's passed away
I'm sure daddy always knew that Tom would be the one to take his place
And when he tried to lecture me I'd sit and pick and sing and let him nag
But way down deep inside I think he always knew that hardware ain't my bag

We open Monday night in Bolton city for another two week stand
I wish there was some way that you and Tom could come and hear my band
Wish I had time to tell you bout the places that I've been the things I saw
And I'll send the fifteen dollars soon as I get to the club and make a draw

When you're hot you're hot there
Ah I mean ah when what is
When you're hot you're hot yeah okay
