Broke

[C]Credit complications in the [Am]checkout line
[C]Its an awkward situation almost [Am]every time
They keep your [F]card behind and [G]they keep your groceries [C]too, yeah they [G]do
You try [Am]telling everybody it's a [G]terrible mistake
But you can [C]tell they don't believe that's [F]true
They see it [C]all over [G]you when you're [C]broke
I hung my head down as I walked out the door
I'm never ever going back to that store
They treated me like a bum in front of everyone behind me in line
It was all my friends and neighbors looking at me
Like I committed some kind of crime
I guess you ain't worth a dime when your broke
Chorus:
Now if [F]I had money like I [C]did in my day
[F]Just out of spite I think I'd [C]give it away
I [F]thought it didn't even [C]matter anyway and
And the [D]more I thought the [G]madder I got
By the time i got home, I was seein' red
I pulled a gun up out from under my bed
I put a sock on my head and into the night I flew, away I flew
The next thing you know I had blood on my hands
But I had money in my pockets too
You never know what you'll do until you do what you do when your broke
Chorus 2:
Now if I had money like i did in my day
I'd buy a car and drive us far away
I guess you know i have this debt to pay
To society, honey wait for me
With good behavior I'll be out in seven years
Don't worry over me or shed any tears
I learned a lot in here and I know what a chance I blew, chance I blew
The next time I wonâ??t make the same mistake
I'll shoot the camera out too
I'm learning all kinds of things you can do when your broke
