In the twilight's glow, my woman stands
Fury in her eyes, heart clenched in her hands
Her man stumbles home, intoxicated and worn
Dice games and empty pockets, a life of a pawn
Oh, man, oh, man
Put down that glass, cease the sinking
Our pockets echo emptiness
How will we survive this shrinking
Oh, man, oh, man
You're down again
Stop this nonsense
I will leave you one day
Oh, yes, I will leave you
Oh, man, oh, my love
Rent overdue, summer's warmth unpaid
People watch, judgment displayed
Eviction looms, shadows on our door
Yet hope flickers, burning at my core
Oh, wife, dear wife
Fear not, we won't be broken
I'll stride to the grand bank's embrace
Become a cashier, things will be great
Oh, man, oh, man
You're down again,
Stop this nonsense
I will leave you one day
Oh, yes, I will leave you
Oh, man, oh, my love
With a bag in hand, I'll walk the path
Three months hence, the authority's aftermath
They'll still call me a gypsy, it's true
But watch as I rise, my love, anew
Oh, man, oh, man
Put down that glass, cease the sinking
Our pockets echo emptiness
How will we survive this shrinking
Oh, man, oh, man
You're down again
Stop this nonsense
I will leave you one day
Oh, yes, I will leave you
Oh, man, oh, my love
Listen, my woman, lose no faith
I'll be back from my knees
And I'll buy a small car, dreams come true
Behind the wheel, our destiny swirled
You, my dear wife, shall wear grace and pride
Together, we'll conquer life's wild ride
Listen, my woman, lose no faith
I'll be back from my knees
And I'll buy a small car, dreams come true
Behind the wheel, our destiny swirled
You, my dear wife, shall wear grace and pride
Together, we'll conquer life's wild ride
Oh, man, oh, man
Put down that glass, cease the sinking
Our pockets echo emptiness
How will we survive this shrinking
Oh, man, oh, man
Put down that glass, cease the sinking
Our pockets echo emptiness
How will we survive this shrinking
Oh, man, oh, man
You're down again
Stop this nonsense
I will leave you one day
Oh, yes, I will leave you
Oh, man, oh, my love
Oh, oh
Oh, man
Oh, man
Oh, man, oh, man
Put down that glass, cease the sinking
Our pockets echo emptiness
How will we survive this shrinking
Oh, man
You're down again
Stop this nonsense
I will leave you one day
Oh, yes, I will leave you
Oh, man, oh, my love
