Prosperity Blues - Keb' Mo'

I used to only know tears in my eyes

I could never see the sun in the sky

I lived so long with a thorn in my side

I got so used to being unsatisfied

Now I’m happy

Just sittin' round the house

My bills are paid and

My checks don’t bounce

I can’t even crack a frown

Since the blues slipped out of town

I used to work my fingers down to the bone

And my baby would be sleepin'

By the time I got home

Couldn’t go nowhere

'Cause my engine was blown

The operator used to always

Turn off my phone

My bill collectors

They don’t never come around

My car is runnin'

And it don’t break down

I can’t even crack a frown

Since the blues slipped outta' town

My baby left me

But she came right back

When I gave her the keys

To that brand new Cadillac

I can’t even crack a frown

Since the blues slipped outta' town

I ain’t never been so down

Since the blues slipped out of town

Oh Lord, Oh Lord…
