lyrics

PGE Blues

Well I woke up this morning and I flipped on the switch
I put the kettle on but wasn’t that a bitch, it was that...
PGE, that electric company
Well now you can’t have a mug without that doggone electric line

Well I cursed and I hollered then I jumped in the shower
I jumped back out because it was nothing but cold water, without that... PGE, that electric company
Well now you can’t get clean without that doggone electric line

Well I was soaking wet and shakin’ in my boots
I didn’t have no heat, because there wasn’t no juice, without that... PGE, that electric company
Well now you can’t get warm without that doggone electric line

Well I put on my pants, my hat and my shirt
But that clock had stopped and made me late for work, because that... PGE, that electric company
Well now you’re never on time without that doggone electric line

Well, what was I to do, I needed me some money
I walked in the bank and said “now don’t go actin’ funny”, because that... PGE, that electric company
Well you cant’t sound the alarm without that doggone electric line...

Well now I’m a poor inmate just sittin’ in prison
Well they strapped me down and tried to do me in but it was...
PGE, that electric company
Well now you can’t go and die without that doggone electric line...

Well you can’t go and die without that doggone electric line...
