I lost my job down at the docks My old Chevy is up on blocks And I've got holes in both my socks But she loves me The ol' washing machine still squeaks And our hot water heater leaks And I ain't worked in fourteen weeks But she loves me And she loves my troubles away Every night she makes my day Troubles get me down but they never stay Cause she loves my troubles away And I can't give her fancy things Pretty clothes and diamond rings
Nor the pleasure money brings Cause she loves my troubles away Late at night she takes my hand Says, you know, I understand You just do the best you can Then she loves me And she loves my troubles away Every night she makes my day Troubles get me down but they never stay Cause she loves my troubles away Yes, she loves my troubles away Every night she makes my day Troubles get me down but they never stay Cause she loves my troubles away
