Rockin’ Chair lyrics
by Tom Waits
Well, I'm sittin' right here in my rockin' chair
Running my fingers right through my hair
Fire is a-flickerin' with the yellow and gold
Makin' me quiver in the snowy cold
I got a lazy old woman
Screaming 'bout my money
Man, she took every cent
And she didn't leave me any
Times were never this good
Gotta fly for food
Got no woman to spend my money
Barely blew me down and took all my money
So I'm sittin' right here in my rockin' chair
Running my fingers right through my hair
Spider caught the fly in his web
Do believe that he may be dead
Times were never this good
Gotta fly for food
Got no woman to spend my money
Barely blew me down and took all my money
So I'm sittin' and I'm sittin'
And I'm sittin' right here in my rockin' chair
Watchin' my old dog losing his hair
