Ever since I lost you baby I've been here and there

Looking for some piece of mind, I can't find it anywhere

I went down to Tunica, played me a little blackjack

Saw a wino on the corner, gave my winnings back



Chorus:

If it was just money

Baby, I could make it

But living without you

Can I take it

All I see ahead of me is

Is just melancholy blue

Cause I ain't got no future without you



I went down to Austin, lots of beautiful people there

Could have had a better adventure, I just didn't care

Got a job in California, they sure liked my style

But there's something about that California sun

Reminds me of your smile



Chorus:

If it was just money

Baby, I could make it

But living without you

Can I take it

All I see ahead of me is

Is just melancholy blue

Cause I ain't got no future without you



Now and then I go back to Biloxi

Whenever I feel brave

Visit that little country church down there

Lay some flowers on your grave

You sure got a hold on me

I don't know what to do



I ain't got no future

I can't see my future without you
