Quartzsite Vendor Blues

All right, in Quartzsite, Arizona and especially in the Quartzsite Yacht Club, line dancing is a long-standing tradition, so here we go

Well, I'm in the town of Quartzsite
I'm tryna sell my wares
I got a great selection
You can't find just anywhere
I know I've got no money
I hear it all the time
I'm gonna be back tomorrow
For you're sure a friend of mine
I'm selling things at half price
I'm taking out a loan
Man, if I don't make some money soon
I'll never get back home

I got the Quartzsite vendor blues
I've got those Quartzsite vendor blues
I can't pay back my money that I borrowed from you
I've got the Quartzsite vendor blues

Well, most folks tell a story
They've got it really rough
Now livin' on a fixed income
Oh, it's mighty, mighty tough
I bet they all drivin' fine cars
Got $40,000 trucks
They got decent pusher motor homes
Four-wheelers and all that stuff
Well, their bellies are hangin' over
Till they can hardly see their toes
You know they ain't never missed a meal in months
Must be where their money goes

I got the Quartzsite vendor blues
Yeah, I got those Quartzsite vendor blues
Some days I'm barely makin' out to buy a beer or two
I've got the Quartzsite vendor blues

Well, I sell a bit to make a bit
Where all the big boys are
I'm havin' trouble makin' rent
And I'm sleepin' in my car
But I got some brand-new hobbies
I bought a funky old guitar
I'm singin' in the Yacht Club
I'm a karaoke star
But though the weather's cold
And they're a-droppin' in the snow
My old lady called me this mornin', man
She told me where to go

I got the Quartzsite vendor blues
I got those Quartzsite vendor blues
I can't pay back that money that I borrowed from you
I've got the Quartzsite vendor blues
