Letra da Música Prosperity Blues de Keb' Mo'

I used to only know tears in my eyes
I could never see the sun in the sky
I lived so long with a thorn in my side
I got so used to being unsatisfied

Now I'm happy
Just sittin' round the house
My bills are paid and
My checks don't bounce
I can't even crack a frown
Since the blues slipped out of town

I used to work my fingers down to the bone
And my baby would be sleepin'
By the time I got home
Couldn't go nowhere
'Cause my engine was blown
The operator used to always
Turn off my phone

My bill collectors
They don't never come around
My car is runnin'
And it don't break down

I can't even crack a frown
Since the blues slipped outta' town

My baby left me
But she came right back
When I gave her the keys
To that brand new Cadillac

I can't even crack a frown
Since the blues slipped outta' town
I ain't never been so down
Since the blues slipped out of town
