[Verse 1]
Saw a guy the other day he looked just like you
Standing in the unemployment line the way you used to do

[Chorus 1]
I remember when you didn't even have a dime
When you were dying in the unemployment line
I remember when you were mine just passing your time in the unemployment line

[Verse 2]
He looked like a greedy guy standing with the other folks
He reminded me of you without all your bad jokes

[Chorus 2]
I remember when you didn't even have a dime
When you were dying in the unemployment line
I remember when you were mine just passing your time in the unemployment line

[Bridge 1]
I wonder if they're happy on the easy street
Is the world gonna treat me right?
Do you ever expect a lonely night?
I saw you when you got back to your car
I thought it was kind of strange
Noticed you're some kind of a star why'd you have to change
[Chorus 3]
I remember when you didn't even have a dime
When you were dying in the unemployment line
I remember when you were mine just passing your time in the unemployment line

[Bridge 2]
I wonder if they're happy on the easy street
Is the world gonna treat me right?
Do you ever expect a lonely night?
Big blues dance in fast boots
You're in the big times now
Your ship's come in, no more wondering
I had a loser got his unemployment line

[Chorus 4]
I remember when you didn't even have a dime
When you were dying in the unemployment line
I remember when you were mine just passing your time through the unemployment line

[Outro]
The way you used to do
The way you used to do
The way you used to do
