Anybody's better than nobody
'Cause one's never better than two
Anybody's better than nobody
For me and my barefoot bluesI'm spending money like water
And drinking life like wine
But it's a big old bed in a lonesome house
Unhappiness all I findOnce I danced in the sunshine
I used to laugh at the rain
Did the belly-rub with all kinds of men
Lord I'd love to do it again
But in this sea of scorn & laughter
I look for the silvery moon
But there's no one but me and my lonely key
A bare bulb rented roomI'm going down to the river
Gonna have me a little swim
An autumn flower in the frozen rain
Can't believe the state I'm in
'Cause a body was better than nobody
And one seemed worse than two
When that anybody turned to nobody
And left me to my barefoot blues
