Empty Wallet

Electric piano opens with a swing feel, minor jazz chords with 7ths, bass walking gently, snare brushed at 74 BPM. Slide guitar interjects expressive, short bends. The vocal starts raspy and hesitant, then erupts into an unrestrained scream, powerful and rough, scraping across the high register, voice thick with smoke and passion.

Lyrics

Verse 1 Bills stacked high on the kitchen floor, I count my coins, then count some more. The rent’s due soon, I feel the strain, I try to smile, I feel the pain. Every dollar slips away. Chorus Empty wallet, I’m running slow, I work so hard, but I got no dough. Empty wallet, I’ll survive the fight, I’ll keep my soul through the night. Verse 2 Penny jar’s low, the fridge is bare, I wear my thrift like a heavy stare. I dream of gold, but touch the ground, Still I keep walking this lonely town. Money’s gone but I’m still here. Chorus Empty wallet, I’m running slow, I work so hard, but I got no dough. Empty wallet, I’ll survive the fight, I’ll keep my soul through the night. Verse 3 Night comes cold, the lamp burns low, I write my hope in the fading glow. I’ll find a way to break these chains, Keep my heart through the pouring rains. Empty wallet, I won’t fall. Chorus / Outro Empty wallet, I’m running slow, I work so hard, but I got no dough. Empty wallet… fade tonight.
