I was heading dowm the highway,
heading towards the end.
I didn't have any money,
and I couldn't find my friends.
That's the way, that's the way,
you know it had to be.
I wonder if I was crazy,
or was it just poverty?
I made it to New Orleans,
where my wallet drew a blank.
That's why i'm making this "withdrawel,"
at the local blood bank.
That's the way, that's the way,
you know it had to be.
It was like they were vampires,
but wearing white suits.
And they were draining all the blood from me!
Then they'd give me my ten dollars.
Then tell me: "Thanks alot."
and say "Come on back, in three more days."
( Seems I got what they want!" )
That's the way, that's the way,
You know it had to be.
Sometimes you've got to give folks
what they want,
'cause money doesn't grow on trees.
Now i'm back out on the highway.
Still headed towards the end.
I figure I can do without the money.
If I can find my friends.
That's the way, that's the way,
you know it had to be.
You know them blood bank blues
sure 'nuff put a drain on me!

Although you were singing the blues you gave the giggles in your plight!
I live in a college town and we have several plasma type places and they advertise like crazy especially to the college age kids.
I imagine they do try to drain them dry for very little money. But you know when you need money it leads to desperation!
Loved this poem.
