Bad times [bad word] and I reap what I done sown

I had a job but the boss man let me go  
I'm sorry but I won't be needing your help no more
Please mister boss man, I need this job more than you know 
But he gave me my last paycheck and he sent me on out the door 

Well I need a dollar, a dollar, a dollar that's what I need  
Said I need a dollar, a dollar, a dollar that's what I need 
And I need a dollar, a dollar, a dollar that's what I need 
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me 

Well I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground 
Cause everything around me is [bad word] down 
And all I want is for someone to help me 

What in the world am I gonna do tomorrow 
Is there someone who has a dollar I could borrow 
Who can help me take away my sorrow 
(Maybe it's inside the bottle) 
(Maybe it's inside the bottle) 

I had some good old buddies their names is Whiskey and Wine
And for my good old buddies I spend my last dime 
Now wine is good to me, he helps me pass the time 
And my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than the sunshine  
Your mama may have, desperate child has got his own
If God has plans for me I hope it ain't written in stone 
Because I've been working, working myself down to the bone 
and I swear on grandpas grave, I'll be paid when [bad word] home 

Well I need a dollar, a dollar, a dollar that's what I need
