Credits to Everlast for the great song What its like to sing the blues...

Stroked the baddest dimes
At least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
Brave words
By a singer called Whitey Ford
In a band called Everlast
And if truth be known
And if Whitey has ever played the game
He knows it’s a lie
You don’t break their heart
Their back or their pockets
When you chose to play
With the wicked dimes
The monkey on your back
May eat your life
May destroy your family
And make you wish you were dead
But you’ll never do a bit of harm
To the damned old bag
