Hoyt Axton Boney Fingers Lyrics

Hoyt Axton & Linda Ronstadt

Well the rain comin' down and the roof won't hold 'er
I lost my job and I feel a little older
The car won't run and our love's grown colder
But maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better

Oh! the clothes need washin' and the fire won't start
The kids all cryin' and you're breakin' my heart
The whole darn place is fallin' apart
Maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better

Work your fingers to the bone - whadda ya get?
(Whoo-whoo) Boney fingers - Boney fingers

Yea! I've been broke as long as I remember
Get a little money and I gotta run and spend 'er
When I try to save it, pretty woman come and take it
Sayin' maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better.

Work your fingers to the bone - whadda ya get?
(Whoo-whoo) Boney fingers - Boney fingers

Yea! the grass won't grow and the sun's too hot
The whole darn world is goin' to pot
Might as well like it 'cause you're all that I've got
But, maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better

Work your fingers to the bone - whadda ya get?
(Whoo-whoo) Boney fingers - Boney fingers

Say the rain comin' down and the roof won't hold 'er
I lost my job and I feel a little older
The car won't run and our love's grown colder
But maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better

Work your fingers to the bone - whadda ya get?
(Whoo-whoo) Boney fingers - Boney fingers

Work your fingers to the bone - whadda ya get?
(Whoo-whoo) Boney fingers - Boney fingers
