The Rusty Nail - Jackie Greene

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 im right, sometimes im 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
