How’s About You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mud on my shoes, shoes on my feet
I've been walking up and down the street
Buddy, I've seen a thing or two
How's about you?

[Verse 2]
Ain't got a nickel, I'm broken down flat
Wish I had one of those porkpie hats
'Cause this old rain's about soaked through
How's about you?

[Chorus]
How's about you? Ain't you been walking too?
Seems a lotta good people are getting bad news
How's about you? Ain't you got nothing to sing?
Well, I used to have a dollar, I'm gonna have a dime someday

[Verse 3]
Man in the church, man on the hill
Says he won't hurt me, but I know he will
I've been worrying the whole night through
How's about you?

[Chorus]
How's about you? Ain't you been walking too?
Seems a lotta good people are getting bad news
How's about you? Ain't you got nothing to sing?
Well, I used to have a dollar, I'm gonna have a dime someday
[Verse 4]
Criminal man, ain't bеhind bars
He's a-driving one of them Cadillac cars
I'm gonna switch sidеs real soon
How's about you?

[Chorus]
How's about you? Ain't you been walking too?
Seems a lotta good people are getting bad news
How's about you? Ain't you got nothing to sing?
Well, I used to have a dollar, I'm gonna have a dime someday

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
