I'll Get A Break
by Will Shade 
recording of 1986

Now you ran 'round baby, 
Lord, in your V8 Ford 
I was thinkin' 'bout you mama, 
when you drove me from your door 
But I'll get a break, 
yeah, somewhere, 
mama 'fore long 
When I had money, 
had friends from miles around 
Broke, wet and hungry, 
none of my friends can be found 
But I'll get a break, 
yeah, somewhere, 
mama 'fore long 
When I was sick baby, 
Lord, down in my bed 
T.V. was on, 
and I heard the people say 
But I'll get a break, 
yeah, somewhere, 
mama 'fore long 
Mississippi river, 
Lord, so deep and wide 
Woman that I'm lovin', 
she's on the other side 
But I'll get a break, 
yeah, somewhere, 
mama 'fore long 
Ain't no use in cryin', 
no use in wearin' black 
Nobody Charlie, 
cryin' won't bring her back 
But I'll get a break, 
yeah, somewhere, 
mama 'fore long
