words and music by Arlo Guthrie
|
|
There's sometimes I don't believe in nothing
|
Sometimes I do
|
That's why it hurts to believe in you
|
Though I know that pain and sorrow
|
Ain't nothing new
|
It really hurts to be hurt by you
|
|
Lost my job to no one
|
Lost my baby to another man
|
That's what I get for going to 'Nam
|
Give my life to my country
|
Now they put me on the welfare line
|
No it won't be water but fire next time
|
|
Sometimes I want to go back to the city
|
Where I spent my youth
|
Where I had nothing and nothing to lose
|
|
Someday when this country needs a helping hand
|
And they want mine
|
l'll tell them "Buddy just get in line"
|
And when my baby comes back crying
|
Cause her lover ain't around no more
|
I'll kick that smart ass out the door
|
|
There's times I don't believe in nothing
|
Sometimes I do
|
That's why it hurts to believe in you
|
Though I know that pain and sorrow
|
Ain't nothing new
|
It really hurts to be hurt by you
|
It really hurts to be hurt by you
|
