I wonder how it all begun
Now that all's been said and done
Poison harvest, poison seed
Money bought me, money I don't need
Got no money, I got it made
I got no place I can lay my head
I got no money, I got it made
I got no place I can lay my head
It's hard to explain, it's hard to explain
It's hard to explain, it's hard to explain
Sold my soul for Devil's gold
Picking cotton, 'til I'm old
All for profit, all for greed
Money I can't use, money I can't breed
Drown myself in a pool of gin
Thinking what it could have been
If I had stayed with you my love
Would you be here with me my love?
It's hard to explain
