Jolie Holland - Poor Girl's Blues lyrics

Oh maybe I'm a poor girl

But it doesn't bother me at all

Maybe I'm a poor girl

But it doesn't bother me at all

When this world comes crashing down

I know that I'll be standing tall

I used to be an angel

Now I'm just like everybody else

I used to be an angel

Now I'm just like everybody else

I left my wings in the gutter

And my halo is lost

Dusty on a shelf

I know a rambling girl

She's driving me crazy and wild

I know a rambling girl

She's driving me crazy and wild

Wild wild wild

I'd have Austin as my footstool

And the world as my throne

If only she were by my side again

I got a couple of foodstamps

And a caffeine buzz

I got a couple of foodstamps

And a caffeine buzz

So I'd be set for right now, darling

If I only knew

Just where she was

I'd tell her to hold tight honey

Don't you lose your spirit to the wind

I'd tell her to hold tight honey

Don't you lose your spirit to the wind

I know you and I know you'll be a long time rambling

Before you see your rest again

Oh maybe I'm a poor girl

But I don't worry about it none

Maybe I'm a poor girl

But I don't worry about it none

When this world comes crashing down

I know that I'll be standing in the sun

I'll be standing in the sun
