Hard times have hit me like a brick in the road
I've been searching for answers, I've been looking for gold
But I'm still short on money, many good reasons why
I'm just falling down deeper in these hard times
So Yesterday afternoon I was ambling around
Near the creek in the holler beyond the edge of this town
And I was poking around John Wegner's old bootleg shack
Found me some pictures and papers and a big stack of cash
So I've been rambling this whole town, Mister Wegner ain't around
I've looked high, I've looked low, there's no heir to be found
And I've thought and I've wrestled about what I should do
I'll be keeping this money, now friend wouldn't you
You could be James Henry, you could be Grace Divine
If you're name ain't John Wegner then this money is mine
And you can say what you want to, but one thing's for sure
I'm keepin' this money, my conscience is clear
What happened to John Wegner, nobody knows
But when you're bootlegging wine, sometimes that's how it goes
Well I've got his money and his leftover wine
And it's been getting me by in these hard times
Now I'm up here where most people go
Lived me a good life but my body's all gone
And my soul was layin' 'round one lazy afternoon
Met another soul from my town, had hard times there too
His name was John Wegner, he said how do you do
Did you enjoy all that money I left down there for you
Well I saw you hurtin' and a' amblin around
You needed money, I was dying anyways so I just left town
You could be James Henry, you could be Grace Divine
If you're name ain't John Wegner then this money is mine
And you can say what you want to, but one thing's for sure
I'm keepin' this money, my conscience is clear
Yeah I'm keepin' this money, my conscience is clear
Yeah it's clear, like a cold water stream
Yeah it's clear, like a really damn good dream
Yeah, it's clear, about as far as I can see
I've got John Wegner's money, and it belongs
To me, it belongs to me, yeah to me, oh it belongs to me
I've got John Wegner's money and it belongs to me
