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
