There ain't no place for me
I'd rather be free than to
you're givin' up responsibility.
And there ain't no place for me
died and named you in his will
You fell heir to all of his cash
in that big house on the hill
You climbed that social ladder
like a monkey climbs a tree
There ain't no place for me
I'd rather be free than to take your charity.
you're givin' up responsibility,
and there ain't no place for me
Your heart's down in the basement,
your head above the roof,
your brand new friends are genuine,
just about a hundred proof.
You never take a second look
at old friends cross the tracks,
but I knew you when your underwear
was made out of flower sacks.
There ain't no place for me
I'd rather be free than to
you're giving up responsibility.
And there ain't no place for me
And there ain't no place for me
