Jackie Greene The Rusty Nail lyrics

I broke my back just for her, I got off track, now that's for sure
I used to give her my money, I'd tell you no lie
It cost me 20 dollars every time she'd cry
But I don't care no more 'cause she ain't mine

And that rusty nail gave me a thrill that rusty nail do me
Like she never will, well, I know there's another man
That she found 'cause the only time she's loving
Is when I ain't around and that nail gonna nail me in the ground

Sometimes it's raining, sometimes it ain't
Sometimes I'm changing, sometimes I can't

Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong
Most times I feel like I just don't belong
But the whole time I stay here all night long

And that rusty nail kissed me goodnight took all my money
Turned out the light, well, I had a little girl but she ain't around
My nerves are scattered and I come unwound
And that nail gonna nail me in the ground
