Good for Nothing Blues Songtext

von Bobby Bare

I wash my face in funky water pick my teeth with a rusty spoke
Hide your dishes and your daughters anything that might get broke
I prefer your condemnation to your suckin' sympathy
Baby good for nothing's good enough for me

I was born without a daddy and the gutter was my home
And when momma died the only thing she left me was alone
There ain't nothin' in the world that I ain't fool enough to try
I'm hard to hurt and too damn mean to die

I wash my face in funky water...

[ guitar ]
Yeah I don't need nobody girl I get by by myself
And you sure don't need me more than you don't need nobody else
Cause unless you need a hurtin' place where your heart used to be
Darling you don't want no part of me

I wash my face in funky water...

I prefer your condemnation to your suckin' sympathy
Baby good for nothing's good enough for me
