Lean me up against a wall
We got no money,
We got no car,
The little we got won't take us far,
But when night-time comes
Beneath twinkling stars,
You can lean me up against a wall and love me.
We got an old tin shack,
On a rocky slope,
We got a skinny horse an' a sickly goat,
but when the lightning bugs
Tell the moon to get up,
You can lean me up against a wall and love me.
We got an empty barn,
We got empty fields,
Such a terrible year, such a terrible yield,
But when the sun goes down
Hear the nightjars call,
You can lean me up against a wall and love me.
