LYRICS ::

Ain’t got no money,
Ain’t no home,
Ain’t got nobody
& I feel so alone
I wonder what things’d be like
If I took the train to Georgia, Wednesday night
But there’s no use wondering
How things come to be

I stood in the shadows
Of the city street
With nowhere to go,
No one to meet
I wonder how things could be
If a week ago, I coulda seen
But there’s no use wondering
How things come to be

I had a good job
Until they lost it all
I was desperate & down
Against a wall
I wonder how things could be
If the market hadn’t crashed over me
But there’s no use wondering
How things come to be

My lover left me
In the dark,
Meant to hurt me,
Hit the mark
I wonder how things could be
If what I thought was meant to be
But there’s no use wondering
Why things come to be

The letter for
Eviction came,
I stood in the street,
Nobody called my name
I wonder how things could go
If only sooner, I coulda known
But there’s no use wondering
Why things come to be

I don’t know nothin’,
Nothin’ ’bout life,
I spend my time
Between sorrow & strife,
I wonder how things could go
If I know what I know now along time ago
But there’s no use wondering
Why things come to be

I feel like I’m swept
Under the rug,
I got a jar of blessings,
But the lid is plugged
I wonder how things could change
If life was a puzzle I could rearrange
But there’s no use wondering
Why things come to be,
No use wondering
Why things come to be
No use wondering
Why things come to be
