Jim Nelson - Shelter in Place

I got nowhere to go, I got nothin' to do
Except sit around the house feelin' lowdown blue
I got no bread on the shelf, I got no beans in the pan
Yeah my stream dried up and I'm a desperate man

I'm gettin' tired of this town,
I'm gettin' sick of this house
Can't let nobody in, and I can never go out
I got people to see, I got dreams to chase
I can't take any more of this shelter in place

I got bills to pay, and set everything straight
I told collection man that he'll just have to wait
But now the gig is up, they took my name off the sign
I keep fallin', fallin' faster to the bottom line

I'm gettin' tired of this town,
I'm gettin' sick of this house
Can't let nobody in, and I can never go out
I got people to see, I got dreams to chase
I can't take any more of this shelter in place

I set a little bit aside for a rainy day
I hope that it's enough to keep the wolves at bay
You know, this ain't no joke, I ain't playin' no game
I don't know who to thank, I don't know who I should blame

I'm gettin' tired of this town,
I'm gettin' sick of this house
Can't let no one in, and I can never go out
I got people to see, I got dreams to chase
I can't take any more of this shelter in place
